Ingredients:
- 300 g of flour
- 3 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- 1 egg, plus 1 more for brushing
- 1 sachet of yeast
- A pinch of salt
- 50 ml of sunflower oil
- 120 ml of milk or water, lukewarm
- Chocolate chips, as desired
Instructions:
- Start by combining all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Gradually add the wet ingredients (egg, oil, and lukewarm milk or water) and knead until the dough becomes elastic and smooth.
- Fold in chocolate chips briefly until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Once risen, divide the dough into 8 to 10 equal portions and shape each into a ball. Arrange these balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with a beaten egg to give them a beautiful golden finish. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit) for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and immediately cover the rolls with a tea towel to keep them soft.
Enjoy the delightful warmth and sweetness of your homemade Chocolate Chip Rolls!
