• 30g (2 tbsp) soft butter
• 50g (½ cup) chocolate chips

Instructions:

4. Knead the Dough:

• Knead the soft butter into the dough until it’s fully incorporated. The dough should be smooth and elastic.

5. Incorporate Chocolate Chips:

• Gently fold the chocolate chips into the dough until they are evenly distributed.

6. Rest the Dough:

• Set the dough aside for 30 minutes to allow it to rest.

7. Fold the Dough:

• After 30 minutes, fold the dough as shown in the video, repeating the folding process two more times with 15-minute intervals between each fold.

8. Let it Rise:

• Once you’ve completed the folding process, set the dough aside for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

9. Shape the Dough:

• After the dough has risen, cut it into 6 equal pieces.
• Roll each piece of dough into a ball, then roll it into a cigar shape.

10. Arrange in Baking Pan: – Place the shaped dough pieces into a baking pan.

11. Final Rise: – Set the pan aside for another 1 hour or until the dough doubles in size once more.

12. Preheat Oven: – Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

13. Egg Wash: – Brush the top of the dough with an egg wash (a beaten egg mixed with a little water) before baking. This will give it a glossy finish.
