Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Brioche Dough

  1. In a small bowl, mix warm milk, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a stand mixer bowl, combine flour, remaining sugar, and salt.
  3. Add eggs, vanilla extract, and the yeast mixture. Mix on low speed until a sticky dough forms.
  1. Gradually add butter, one piece at a time, mixing until fully incorporated.
  2. Knead for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  3. Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1.5 hours or until doubled in size.

Step 2: Prepare the Vanilla Cream

  1. In a saucepan, heat milk over medium heat until just simmering.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch until smooth.
  3. Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
  4. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring, until thickened.
  5. Remove from heat, add vanilla extract and butter, and mix until smooth.
  6. Cover with plastic wrap touching the surface to prevent a skin from forming, then chill.

Step 3: Assemble the Brioche

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the brioche dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle (~1/2 inch thick).
  3. Spread the chilled vanilla cream evenly over the dough.
  4. Sprinkle chocolate chips over the cream.
  5. Carefully roll the dough into a log and slice into even portions.
  6. Place on the prepared baking sheet, cover loosely, and let rest for 20 minutes.

Step 4: Bake

  1. Brush the brioche rolls with an egg wash.
  2. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  3. Let cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar (optional).
