  4. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.
  5. Meanwhile, heat milk for custard in a saucepan. Whisk together sugar, egg yolks, cornstarch, and vanilla in a bowl.
  6. Slowly whisk in hot milk, return to saucepan, and cook until thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Let cool.
  7. Punch down dough, divide into 12 pieces, and fill each with custard and chocolate chips.
