Maple Bar with Dark Chocolate Dip
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm milk
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine 1 cup warm milk and 2 1/4 teaspoons of active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
- In a large bowl, mix the yeast mixture with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/3 cup melted unsalted butter, 2 large eggs, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add in 4 cups of all-purpose flour, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut into 12 rectangular bars and place them on a baking sheet. Let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the bars for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Let them cool completely.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 3 cups of dark chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Dip each cooled maple bar into the melted dark chocolate, coating it evenly. Place the dipped bars on a parchment-lined tray and let the chocolate set.
- Enjoy your delicious maple bars with dark chocolate dip!
