- 1,000 grams all-purpose flour
- 50 grams active yeast or 2 tablespoons instant yeast
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 cups lukewarm water
- 1 whole egg
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon table salt
For the Crumble Topping:
- 50 grams cold butter or plant-based margarine, cubed
- 100 grams powdered sugar
- 100 grams flour
Filling:
- Chocolate and nut spread (such as Nutella or peanut butter)
Instructions:
- Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water in a bowl. Let it activate for 10 minutes.
- In a mixer with a dough attachment, combine flour, oil, egg, and the yeast mixture. Begin mixing at medium speed until a dough starts to form. Add salt and knead for about 8 more minutes.
- Oil the dough slightly, cover, and allow it to rise until it doubles, which takes about an hour.
- For the crumble, use your hands to blend the cold butter, powdered sugar, and flour until you get a coarse, sandy mixture.
- Divide the dough into pieces of 65 grams each. Flatten each piece and fill it with the chocolate nut spread. Seal the edges and roll it back into a ball shape.
- Place the filled dough balls on a greased baking tray. Allow them to rise until they double in size, around 40 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Brush the buns with beaten egg and generously sprinkle them with the crumble topping.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until they turn a golden hue.
