Ingredients
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1/2 cup Butter or margarine
  • 1/3 cup Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 package Active dry yeast
  • 3 1/3 cup Siften a-p flour
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Chocolate chips
Directions
  1. 1
    Generously grease a 10-inch tube pan or Bundt pan with butter and dust lightly with flour; set aside.
  2. 2
    In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm (about 110&# 194;°F). Remove from heat.
  3. 3
    In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in the warm milk and butter mixture. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  4. 4
    Stir in the sugar, salt, and eggs until well combined.
  5. 5
    Gradually add the sifted flour, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
  6. 6
    Beat on high speed for 2 minutes, scraping down the bowl occasionally, to develop the gluten.
  7. 7
    Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
  8. 8
    Transfer the dough to the prepared tube pan and cover with a damp towel. Let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  9. 9
    While the dough rises, prepare the topping: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/2 cup cold cubed butter.
  10. 10
    Rub the butter and flour together with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  11. 11
    Preheat the oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  12. 12
    Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the risen dough.
  13. 13
    Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  14. 14
    Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
