Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together warm milk, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Stir in melted unsalted butter, large egg, all-purpose flour, and salt until you have a slightly sticky dough.
  3. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise for about 1 hour.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once risen, punch down the dough, roll it out, sprinkle chocolate chips, and roll tightly.
  6. Place the loaf in a greased loaf pan, cover, and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
  7. Brush the top with melted butter, sprinkle sugar, and bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Allow the bread to cool slightly in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
