Knead 4 minutes on speed 1, then about 8 minutes on speed 2, until the dough becomes slightly elastic.

Gather the dough into a ball, cover with a plastic sheet and leave to rest for 2 and a half hours at room temperature, until doubled in volume.

Note: For the best way to knead, see: A few tips for effective kneading at home.

Arrange the rolls on a baking sheet, leaving room between them as they will rise and spread during baking. Be sure to place the seam downwards. Cover with a plastic sheet and leave to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven ot 230°C or 446°F.

Stage 13 - ⌛ 5 min.

Then, glaze the rolls, and put in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes.

Stage 14 - ⌛ 20 min.

Take out of the oven as soon as they are well coloured. They should not be overcooked, otherwise they will be too dry.
Remarks
If you plan to eat them the following day instead of freshly-baked, I suggest you re-heat them just before serving (about 10 minutes at 100°C or 212°F).

Katia gives us a good tip in case you have no sticks of chocolate: use leftover chocolate truffles.

[Translator's note: since when do chocolate truffles ever last long enough to be leftover?].
Keeping: 1 or 2 days in a linen bag.
