Instructions
- Heat the heavy cream in a pot until hot, but don’t let it boil.
- Pour the heavy cream over the chocolate chips and let it sit for 10 minutes. Then, use a rubber spatula to stir until silky smooth and gorgeous.
- Chill the chocolate ganache uncovered in the fridge for 30 minutes. Then, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it chill for at least 1 hour longer.
- Warm the milk to 110°F and add the yeast. Cover and let it sit for 10 minutes.
- Into the bowl of your stand mixer, sift the flour, wheat starch, baking powder, and salt. Mix on low to combine.
- Add the vegetable oil to the milk and yeast mixture. Turn the stand mixer speed up to 2 and gradually pour it in. Turn the speed up to 5 and once the dough turns into a ball, let it knead on medium for 5 more minutes.
- Once you’ve got a smooth lump-free ball of dough, remove it from the mixer and form it into a uniform ball with your hands.
- Place the smooth ball into an oiled bowl and cover the dough with a damp cloth. Let it rest in a warm place for 1-2 hours until it has doubled in size.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down, and knead it for about a minute to remove any air bubbles. Then divide it into 16 equal pieces. Cover them.
- Roll a piece into a ball and then flatten it with the edge of a rolling pin to form a disk with a thicker center. Place a tablespoon of chocolate filling in the center.
- Gather the edges of the disk and pinch them together to seal the filling inside. Roll the dough between your palms to form a smooth ball.
- Repeat for the remaining pieces of dough. Then, place the balls on a piece of parchment paper with the uneven side down, cover them with a damp towel, and let them rest for an additional 15 minutes.
- Heat a steamer over medium-high heat and place the buns in the steamer, leaving some space between them.
- Cover the steamer with a lid and steam the buns for 10-12 minutes, until they are puffed up and cooked through. Turn off the heat and wait for 10 minutes.
- Remove the buns from the steamer and enjoy your beautiful creation!
