It is a bun version with chocolate lava inside. I got a springtime sweet bread recipe from king arthur flour and I have converted it into a healthy version with wheat flour and jaggery.

Milk - 1/2 cup
curd - 2 tablespoons
vanilla essence - 1/2 teaspoon
butter - 2 tablespoons
jaggery - 1 & 1/2 tablespoons grated

Instructions

Bread: Heat milk to lukewarm, add 1 tbsp sugar and a pinch of salt then sprinkle yeast on top and keep aside till it proves.
In a beater with hook attachment add yeast mixture, curd, jaggery, vanilla essence and mix well, keep adding flour to knead into a soft and pliable dough. Add butter and knead well again.
In a large bowl place the dough and cover with cling film. Keep in a warm place till it doubles its size. It will take 1- 1 & 1/2 hrs to rise.
Streusel topping: Mix butter, jaggery and flour well and set aside.
When the dough doubles in size separate into 2 equal parts. Roll the dough on a smooth surface and slightly flatten it. Now place 1 tablespoon of chocolate and cover it completely.
Roll the dough again and place in a tray that fits inside the pressure cooker, do the same for the other dough and leave it covered with clingfilm for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile place a pressure cooker and spread salt to cover the bottom of the pan and heat it. When the dough rises again spread the streusel on top and place it inside the pressure cooker. Close the lid with belt, do not use the whistle.
Cook on a low flame for 10 minutes, (not more than 10 minutes the bread may get burnt). If still uncooked, you can exceed for 2 to 3 minutes only.
Now enjoy the bread with the chocolate lava inside.
