Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 packet active dry yeast (2 ¼ tsp)
¾ cup milk, lukewarm
3 tbsp sugar
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
½ tsp salt
1 cup cooked chestnuts, finely chopped
2 tbsp brown sugar (for the chestnut filling)
1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
1 tbsp milk (for brushing)
Directions:
Prepare the Dough:
In a mixing bowl, dissolve the sugar in the lukewarm milk. Add the yeast and stir gently. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
Add the melted butter, egg, and salt to the yeast mixture and whisk together.
Gradually add in the flour, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise for about an hour, or until doubled in size.
Prepare the Chestnut Filling:
In a small bowl, combine the finely chopped chestnuts with brown sugar and cinnamon (if using). Mix well and set aside.
