Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups + 1 tablespoon (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 10g fresh yeast, crumbled
  • 3 large eggs (150g), beaten
  • 2/3 cup (165g) unsalted butter, softened and diced
  • 1 cup + 2 teaspoons (25 cl) whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • 1 vanilla pod
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup (50g) sugar
  • 3 tablespoons (20g) cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (120g) mini chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup (50g) sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50 ml) water
  • 1 large egg + 1 yolk, beaten

Instructions

  1. In a stand mixer, combine 250g of flour, 30g sugar, and salt. Add crumbled yeast and mix well.
  2. Incorporate 150g beaten eggs and knead until thick and smooth. Gradually add 165g softened butter until the dough is dense yet slightly sticky.
  3. Cover and let rise for about 2 hours until doubled in size.
  4. Heat 25 cl milk with butter and vanilla pod until bubbling. Whisk together egg yolks, 50g sugar, cornstarch, and flour; slowly mix in hot milk to prevent curdling. Return to heat until thickened.
  5. Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle, spread cooled custard on half, sprinkle with mini chocolate chips, fold over, cut into rectangles, and place on a baking sheet.
  6. Brush with beaten egg mixture and bake at 350°F (180°C) for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Prepare sugar syrup by boiling equal parts water and sugar until dissolved; brush over warm brioches.
