    A bun that isn't too sweet but tastes absolutely amazing. Marie got the recipe when she took a course in Viennoiserie at Solhaga Stenugnsbageri in Slöinge—which, by the way, is a fantastic bakery that's not to be missed!

    Here's how:

    • 1

      Soak the raisins in cold water for about 1 hour.

    • 2

      Mix all the ingredients except the butter, chocolate, and raisins for about 8 minutes on low to medium speed (double the time if kneading by hand)

    • 3

      Add the butter in cubes and increase the speed slightly; continue mixing for about 4 more minutes.

    • 4

      Add the chocolate and the drained raisins.

    • 5

      Let it rise for 1 hour, preferably in an oiled baking pan.

    • 6

      Divide the dough into 16 pieces, roll them into balls, make a hole in the center, and top each with a small round ball! Place them in the molds.

    • 7

      Let it rise for about 1½–2 hours.

    • 8

      Preheat the oven to 220 °C. Brush with the egg and sprinkle with pearl sugar. Bake for about 8–10 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
