Chocolate Muffin in a Cup

Whenever I make chiffon cake and have egg yolk leftover, I make this bread that you can enjoy as a sweet treat.

If I make 2 cuts, the dough doesn't open nicely, so I make 3 cuts by lifting up the dough with the scissors.
I used 5.5 cm diameter and 5.5 cm high muffin cups. Recipe by DUFFYchan

Ingredients

12 servings
  1. 1Super Rich Bread Dough
  2. 2Chocolate bars
  3. 【Topping】
  4. 1 dashEgg (for glazing)
  5. 5mm cubes x 12 Butter
  6. 1Granulated sugar

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Make the bread dough and wait until the 1st proofing is done. The volume will be 1.5-2 times of the original size. It takes a little bit longer than the normal bread dough.

  2. 2

    Break the chocolate bars into pieces, and divide into 12 portions.

  3. 3

    When the 1st proofing is finished, divide the dough into 12 portions. Lightly punch down the dough, roll them into balls, and let them rest for about 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Lightly pinch the dough with your fingers to release air, and roll out into circles, about 10 cm in diameter, using a rolling pin (make the edges a little bit thinner).

  5. 5

    Wrap up a lot of chocolate just like making shumai dumplings.

  6. 6

    Close the seams completely.

  7. 7

    Place the seam side down in a cup.

  8. 8

    Let it proof for at least 30 minutes (I used the bread-rising setting of my oven at 35℃. You can leave it at room temperature during summer for this). Since this dough contains a lot of butter, use lower temperature than usual for proofing.

  9. 9

    Let the dough rise until it fills 2/3 of the cup.

  10. 10

    Make cuts with scissors. First, make a deep cut across the center at the half-way point.

  11. 11

    Secondly, make a cut to the left.

  12. 12

    Thirdly, make a cut to the right.

  13. 13

    Brush with egg, then put 5 mm butter cube, and 1/2 teaspoon of granulated sugar into the cuts.

  14. 14

    Bake in the preheated oven at 180℃ for 13-15 minutes.

  15. 15

    When you are warming it up, loosely cover with plastic wrap, and microwave for 20 seconds per bread at 500 W. It will be just like freshly baked one.
