# Steps to Cook:
01 -
In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk warm milk and eggs, then pour into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
02 -
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5 to 7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
03 -
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm area for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
04 -
Roll the dough into a rectangle. Brush evenly with melted butter, then sprinkle brown sugar, chocolate chips, and cinnamon over the surface.
05 -
Roll the dough tightly into a log, cut into 12 equal pieces, twist each piece gently, and place them into a greased muffin tin.
06 -
Cover the shaped cruffins and allow them to rise for 30 minutes until puffy.
07 -
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the cruffins for 20 minutes or until golden brown on top.
08 -
Allow the cruffins to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

For a dairy-free alternative, substitute almond or oat milk and use vegan butter. A 1:1 gluten-free flour blend can replace all-purpose flour to make it gluten-free.
