Chocolate Brioche

 

  • 250 g flour

  • 25 g sugar

  • 1 tablespoon yeast

  • A small pinch of salt

  • ½ cup milk

  • 2 eggs

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla

  • 75 g butter

  • 100 g chocolate chips

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for greasing the tray)

Preparation Method:

  1. Place the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a stand mixer and blend until combined.

  2. Add the milk, eggs, and vanilla, then mix again until the dough is slightly sticky.

  3. Cut the butter into small cubes, add it to the dough, and mix until smooth and well combined.

  4. Transfer the dough to a floured surface, divide it into 8 pieces, and shape each piece into a spiral.
