How to Make Brioche with Chocolate:

Quick Overview

Creating this heavenly Brioche with Chocolate is a breeze! With flavors that taste like they came from a five-star bakery, this recipe is oh-so-simple to whip up. The best part? It combines warm milk, sugar, and yeast to bring out the dough’s rich flavors that develop as it rests. You can have this ready in just two hours, including resting time, making it a perfect weekend project that the whole family will enjoy!

Key Ingredients for Brioche with Chocolate:

• 375g flour (all purpose)
• 150ml warm milk
• 80g sugar
• 7g yeast
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vinegar
• 40ml oil
• 10g melted butter
• 10g vanilla sugar
• 10g cocoa
• Chocolate (for filling)
• 50ml warm milk (for filling)
• 1 egg (for brushing)
• Salt

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, yeast, and sugar. In a separate bowl, mix warm milk, egg, vinegar, oil, melted butter, and vanilla sugar. Combine the wet and dry ingredients together and mix until a dough forms.
2. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead until it’s smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
3. Rest the Dough: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rest in a warm place for about one hour or until doubled in size.
4. Prepare Chocolate Filling: While the dough is resting, prepare your chocolate filling by mixing the chocolate with 50ml of warm milk.
5. Shape the Brioche: After resting, divide the dough into 9 equal parts. Take one part, flatten it, and place a spoonful of the chocolate filling in the center. Seal and form a ball. Repeat until all dough parts are filled.
6. Decorate and Proof: Take the reserved 50g of dough, mix with cocoa, and create strips to place on top of the chocolate balls. Place them in a greased mold, cover, and let rest for another hour.
7. Bake the Brioche: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Brush the brioche balls with the egg wash and bake for about 30 minutes or until golden brown.

What to Serve Brioche with Chocolate With:

Brioche with Chocolate pairs beautifully with fresh coffee, hot cocoa, or a tall glass of milk. If you want to elevate your breakfast experience, consider serving it alongside a light fruit salad or even whipped cream for dipping. It’s fantastic for brunch or afternoon tea, making your table look inviting and delicious!

Top Tips for Perfecting Brioche with Chocolate:

• Resting Time: Always allow adequate resting time for your dough; this helps achieve the perfect fluffy texture.
• Ingredient Quality: Use high-quality chocolate for the filling. This will significantly enhance the flavor of your brioche.
• Don’t Rush It: If your brioche doesn’t rise as expected, give it more time! The warmer the environment, the happier your bread will be.

Storing and Reheating Tips:

To store your leftover brioche, wrap it in plastic wrap and place it in an air-tight container. Enjoy it for up to 3 days at room temperature or refrigerate it for up to a week for freshness. For longer storage, consider freezing the brioche, where it can last for up to three months. To reheat, simply pop it in the oven at low heat until warmed through, or microwave for 15 seconds for a delightful re-fresh!

Now that you have the secret to making heavenly Brioche with Chocolate, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and bring joy to your kitchen. Happy baking!
