Method
- Add dry ingredients for dough to the bowl of a stand mixer.

- Add eggs and mix well.
- Knead dough for 8-10 minutes until smooth and it springs back when poked.
- Cover and leave to proof for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Knock down, folding dough over itself to remove air pockets.
- Roll out flat, into a 50x35cm rectangle.
- Coat with choc spread and sprinkle with nuts and dark chocolate bits, leaving a 2cm border uncovered on one of the long edges.
- Roll up into a log, using the uncovered dough edge to seal it closed.
- Slice log into 8cm pieces, creating 9 buns.
- Place buns cut-side facing up in a deep, 35x25cm baking tray lined with baking paper.
- Cover and proof for another 30 minutes until risen and puffy.
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
- Glaze buns with a little milk and bake for 30-35 minutes.

- Whisk while cooking for 4-5 minutes.
- Pour sauce over baked buns while both are still hot.
- Cool and serve.
Cook’s note: You can add chocolate to the sauce if you like.
