Ingredients
Scale
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 3/4 cup warm milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups pearl sugar
- 8 oz dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt flakes
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough:
Activate the yeast by mixing it with warm milk. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy. In a large bowl, combine flour, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Add the yeast mixture and knead until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise for 1 hour. - Incorporate the Pearl Sugar:
Gently fold the pearl sugar into the risen dough without overworking it. - Cook the Waffles:
Preheat and lightly grease a waffle iron. Divide the dough into small portions and cook for 3-5 minutes per waffle, until golden brown and crispy. - Prepare the Chocolate Dip:
Melt the dark chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in short intervals, stirring frequently. Stir in sea salt. - Dip and Set:
Dip one side of each waffle into the melted chocolate, let excess drip off, and place on parchment paper. Sprinkle sea salt flakes on top. Let the chocolate set before serving.
