Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together warm milk, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  • Stir in melted unsalted butter, large egg, all-purpose flour, and salt until you have a slightly sticky dough.
  • Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise for about 1 hour.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once risen, punch down the dough, roll it out, sprinkle chocolate chips, and roll tightly.
  • Place the loaf in a greased loaf pan, cover, and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
  • Brush the top with melted butter, sprinkle sugar, and bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown.
  • Allow the bread to cool slightly in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
