How to make pistachio-chocolate buns step by step

Step 1 - preparing the yeast dough

• Add the dough ingredients to a large bowl and knead into a smooth and uniform dough.
  3 g instant yeast, 125 ml milk, 50 g sugar, 300 g wheat flour - all-purpose, 1 egg, 40 g butter
  
• Cover the bowl with the dough and set aside in a warm, draft-free place for about an hour until it doubles in volume.
  
• Melt the chocolate - e.g., in a double boiler.

• Chop the pistachios.

Step 2 - preparing the buns

• Roll up the dough into a log, starting from the shorter side.
  
• Gently mark 8 portions on the rolled dough - I first mark the center of the entire log, then the centers of each half, and then the centers of each piece again.
  
• Cut the dough into buns using a thread or a knife.
• Arrange the buns in the prepared pan (greased with butter and floured) - leave space between the buns.
  
• Cover the pan with a cloth and set aside for about half an hour for the buns to puff up.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180℃ top/bottom heat.

Step 3 - baking the buns
