Description
Delight in the flaky layers and rich chocolate of these Chocolate Chip Sourdough Cruffins, perfectly baked for a heavenly treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup sourdough starter (active and bubbly)
- 2 1/2 cups bread flour
- 1/2 cup whole milk (warm)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup unsalted butter (cold, flattened between parchment)
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup vanilla pastry cream or custard (optional topping)
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the sourdough starter, warm milk, eggs, sugar, bread flour, and salt. Mix with a dough hook for 5 to 6 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add the softened butter and knead until fully incorporated. Cover and let the dough rest at room temperature for 4 to 6 hours or refrigerate overnight.
- Roll the chilled dough into a large rectangle. Place the cold butter block in the center. Fold the dough over the butter like a letter, and then turn the dough and repeat this fold three times total, chilling the dough for 30 minutes between each fold.
- Roll the laminated dough into a 10 x 20 inch rectangle. Evenly sprinkle the mini chocolate chips on top. Roll the dough tightly into a log, then slice in half lengthwise. Twist each half into a spiral and place into greased muffin tins.
- Let the cruffins rise at room temperature for 4 to 6 hours or until they are doubled and puffy.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the cruffins for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
- Once cooled slightly, top or fill the cruffins with vanilla pastry cream or custard before serving.
Notes
For best results, ensure your sourdough starter is active. You can customize the filling with fruits or nuts based on preference.
