Ingredients (per serving):

- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup warm milk
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tbsp chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp creamy peanut butter


Cooking Tips:

- Make sure your milk is warm, but not too hot, or it will kill the yeast.
- Use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment to make the dough easier to handle.
- Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place for at least an hour.
Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, warm milk, sugar, salt, egg yolk, and butter. Mix until a dough forms.
2. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
3. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for at least an hour.
4. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
5. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
6. Flatten each ball into a disc and place 1/4 tbsp of chocolate chips and 1/4 tbsp of peanut butter in the center.
7. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch to seal.
8. Place the kolaches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.
9. Serve warm and enjoy!
