Ingredients

Dough

• 2 teaspoons yeast
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 2 tablespoons Pure Maple Syrup, Dark Robust
• 450g plain flour
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 290ml semi skimmed milk, warm
• 1 egg

Filling

• 100g dark chocolate, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Pure Maple Butter
• 1½ teaspoons Pure Maple Syrup, Dark Robust

Instructions

1. Line a 12 inch tin with greaseproof paper.
2. In a bowl, add the yeast, sugar and 100ml of the warm milk. Whisk together and set aside until frothy.
3. In a separate bowl, add the flour, salt, maple syrup and egg.
4. Pour in the yeast mixture and begin mixing using a stand mixer with a dough hook on a low speed.
5. Gradually add the remaining warm milk until a soft dough forms, then increase the speed and knead for 10 minutes to develop the gluten.
6. Cover the bowl with cling film and leave in a warm place to rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
7. Finely chop the chocolate and mix the maple butter with the maple syrup in a small bowl.
8. Preheat the oven to 200C.
9. Turn the risen dough out onto a floured surface and roll into a rectangle about 35cm by 35cm.
10. Spread the maple butter mixture evenly over the dough and sprinkle over the chopped chocolate.
11. Roll the dough up tightly. Using a knife lightly oiled with vegetable oil, cut into 12 equal buns.
12. Place the buns into the prepared tin, cover and leave to rest for 20 minutes.
13. Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown.
14. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Drizzle with any remaining maple mixture before serving.
