Chocolate Chip Sourdough Cruffins

Print Recipe

Delight in flaky, buttery sourdough cruffins filled with rich chocolate chips, perfect for an indulgent breakfast or dessert treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup active sourdough starter
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ cup whole milk, warmed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 12 tbsp unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine sourdough starter, warmed milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Mix in flour, sugar, and salt to form a dough; knead for 8-10 minutes until elastic.
  3. Cover dough and let it ferment at room temperature for 4-6 hours until doubled in size.
  4. Roll out dough into a rectangle about 12×18 inches.
  5. Distribute cold butter cubes evenly over two-thirds of the dough.
  6. Fold the dough into thirds, enclosing the butter, then roll out again to 12×18 inches.
  7. Repeat folding and rolling 3 times for layers, chilling dough for 30 minutes between folds if too warm.
  8. Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the final rolled-out dough.
  9. Cut dough into strips, then roll each strip tightly to form the cruffin shape.
  10. Place each rolled cruffin into a greased muffin tin cup.
  11. Cover and proof for 1-2 hours until puffy.
  12. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake cruffins for 20-25 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  13. Let cool slightly, dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

For an extra treat, warm the cruffins and spread a bit of butter or your favorite jam before serving.
