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

- 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
- In a stand mixer, combine flour, sugar, salt, and crumbled yeast. Add beaten eggs and knead until smooth. Gradually mix in softened butter.
- Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 2 hours or until doubled in size.
- For the custard, heat milk with butter and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk egg yolks with sugar, cornstarch, and flour. Combine with hot milk gradually to avoid curdling; return to heat until thickened.
- Roll out the dough, spread cooled custard on half, sprinkle mini chocolate chips, fold over the other half, cut into pieces, and let rise again for 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Brush with egg wash and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
- Prepare sugar syrup by boiling water with sugar until dissolved; brush over warm brioches before cooling.
