Delight in flaky, buttery sourdough cruffins filled with rich chocolate chips, perfect for a decadent breakfast or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sourdough starter (active)
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp instant yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
  • 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • Extra flour for dusting
  • 1 tbsp melted butter (for brushing)
  • Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine sourdough starter, warm milk, egg, sugar, salt, and instant yeast; stir to combine.
  2. Add flour gradually and mix until a rough dough forms.
  3. Knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Roll dough into a rectangle and evenly distribute cold butter cubes over it.
  5. Fold the dough to encase the butter and roll out into a large rectangle again.
  6. Fold the dough into thirds like a letter, turn 90°, and roll out again; repeat this folding and rolling 3 times to create layers.
  7. Spread chocolate chips evenly over the rolled dough, then roll it tightly into a log.
  8. Cut the log into 6 equal pieces and place each piece into a greased muffin tin cup, cut side up.
  9. Cover and let rise for 1 to 1.5 hours until puffy.
  10. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush tops with melted butter.
  11. Bake for 18–22 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  12. Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.

Notes

For extra indulgence, serve warm with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
