📝 Ingredients
For the Dough
- 3 egg yolks
- 200 grams fresh strawberries
- ½ cup milk (room temperature)
- ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon instant dry yeast
- 2 cups wheat flour (plus extra if needed)
- 100 grams butter (softened, cubed)
- A pinch of salt (optional but recommended)
For Filling & Topping
- Melted chocolate (to taste)
- Fresh strawberries, sliced
👨🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Make the Strawberry Base
Wash and hull the strawberries. Add egg yolks, strawberries, milk, condensed milk, and yeast to a blender. Blend for 2–3 minutes until completely smooth and creamy.
Step 2: Prepare the Dough
Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Gradually add flour and mix until combined. Add butter and knead for 8–10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth, soft, and elastic. If sticky, add flour little by little.
Step 3: First Rise
Cover the dough and let it rest in a warm place for 30 minutes. It will slightly expand and become airy.
Step 4: Shape the Buns
Place the dough on a floured surface. Divide into 8–10 equal portions and shape into balls. Arrange them on a greased or lined baking tray, leaving space between each.
Step 5: Second Rise
Cover and let the buns rise again for 30 minutes until puffy and light.
Step 6: Bake
Preheat oven to 180°C (356°F). Bake for 35–40 minutes until lightly golden and soft.
Step 7: Fill and Finish
Let buns cool slightly. Slice each bun, spread melted chocolate inside, add fresh strawberry slices, and close.
