Flaky, buttery cruffins made with tangy sourdough starter and packed with gooey chocolate chips. The perfect fusion of croissant, muffin, and sweet indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough:

  • 250g active sourdough starter (100% hydration)
  • 500g bread flour
  • 200ml warm milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 50g granulated sugar
  • 100g unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tsp salt

For Laminating and Filling:

  • 150g unsalted butter (room temp, for lamination)
  • 150g chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)

Optional Toppings:

 

  • Melted butter (for brushing)

  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Make the dough: Mix starter, flour, sugar, milk, egg, and salt. Knead until smooth. Add 100g softened butter. Knead again until elastic.

  2. Ferment: Let dough rise at room temp for 4–6 hours. Then refrigerate overnight.

  3. Roll & laminate: Roll out dough, spread 150g butter, fold like a letter. Chill. Repeat twice more for flaky layers.

  4. Add chocolate: Roll dough again, sprinkle chocolate chips, roll into a log, and slice lengthwise.

  5. Shape cruffins: Coil each strip into muffin tins, cut side up.

  6. Final proof: Let rise at room temp for 2–3 hours.

  7. Bake: 375°F (190°C) for 25–30 min. Brush with butter and dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

  • Use strong bread flour for structure.
  • For faster rise, place the dough in a warm, draft-free area.
  • Sourdough discard can be used with added yeast.
  • Can be frozen after baking—just reheat before serving.
