Description
A delightful recipe for chocolate chip vanilla custard brioches that are soft, sweet, and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
- ½ cup whole milk, warmed to about 110°F
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup vanilla custard (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture, eggs, softened butter, and vanilla extract.
- Mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them in a greased muffin tin.
- Using your finger, make a small indentation in the center of each dough ball. Fill each indentation with about 1 tablespoon of vanilla custard and sprinkle chocolate chips on top.
- Cover the muffin tin with a towel and let the brioches rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Brush the tops of the brioches with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, substitute half of the all-purpose flour with bread flour.
- Add a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top before serving for a sweet finish.
