Chocolate hearts for Valentine's Day. This is the recipe for chocolate bread which I transformed into chocolate heart shaped buns. The buns were spongy, soft. I enjoyed them with butter and orange marmalade.
The recipe comes from 'Home baking cookbook'.
Ingredients for 6 buns:
- 225g flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 12g cocoa powder
- 1 tsp dried yeast
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tbsp oil
- 150 ml water
Sift the flour, salt and cocoa powder into a an electric mixer bowl. Add the sugar and yeast (if they don't need to be dissolved with water first - check on package). Mix everything together.
In a jug mix the warm water and oil. If your yeast need to be dissolved stir them in now.
Pour the wet ingredients into a dry ones. Mix with a dough hook until form a dough. Then knead for 5-10 more minutes.
Transfer the dough into an oiled bowl, cover with clingfilm and leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
Brush muffin tin holes with oil.
Tour out the dough again and knead lightly for 1 minute. Cut into 6 even pieces and place each in muffin tin hole. Cover with a cloth and leave to prove in a warm place for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 200C.
Bake the buns for 25 - 30 minutes. Transfer the buns to wire rack and leave to cool. Serve with butter and jam.
If you would like to make a loaf of bread from this recipe double to amount of ingredients, follow the method and bake in 900g loaf tin.
