Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 10g fresh yeast, crumbled
  • 3 large eggs, beaten
  • 2/3 cup unsalted butter, softened and diced
  • 1 cup + 2 teaspoons whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • 1 vanilla pod
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup sugar (for syrup)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 large egg + 1 yolk, beaten

Instructions

  1. In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and crumbled yeast. Add in your beaten eggs. Knead at medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until everything comes together into a thick dough. Gradually incorporate softened butter and knead until your dough is dense and slightly sticky.
  2. Cover the dough tightly with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 2 hours or until it doubles in size.
  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine milk and butter while adding the vanilla pod and its seeds. Once bubbling, remove from heat. In another bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and flour until well blended. Slowly pour the hot milk mixture over your egg concoction while whisking continuously. Return to heat until it thickens into custard. Transfer to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate until cooled.
  4. After the dough has risen, roll it out into a large rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the cooled custard over half of your dough, sprinkle mini chocolate chips, and fold over the uncovered half to seal in the filling. Cut into 8 equal rectangles and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let them rise again for about 2 hours.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Brush the risen brioches gently with the beaten egg mixture and bake for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
  6. In a small saucepan, bring water and sugar to a gentle boil until dissolved. Brush this syrup on each brioche right out of the oven. Allow them to cool completely before serving.
