Yummy Chocolate Peanut Butter Buns
Submitted by reagan on May 31, 2003 at 5:46 pm

1 1/2 T dry instant yeast
1/2 cup sugar
1 T salt
5 T wheat gluten
2 cups freshly ground whole wheat flour
3 - 4 cups white flour
1/2 cup oil
1 egg
2 cups water, 115 degrees

Blend all ingredients with the exception of the white flour. I use my Kitchen Aid mixer and mix at med. to high speed.

Cover and let sponge for approximately 20 minutes.

Add remaining flour, 1 cup at a time. Mix well after each addition. When dough is still sticky, but manageable, roll out.

Spread the desired amount of peanut butter over dough, sprinkle lightly with brown sugar (cinnamon added to sugar is optional), and then add the desired amount of milk chocolate chips. Roll dough and cut into pieces; place in a greased pan, cover let rise until double.

Bake 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes.

I like smooth peanut butter, but crunchy could be used. Walnuts, pecans, or other nuts could be added too.
