Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml warm skim milk
- 7 g active dry yeast
- 50 g honey
- 500 g all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 piece egg white
- 50 g unsweetened applesauce
- 100 g mini chocolate chips
- cooking spray
Instructions
In a small bowl, warm the skim milk to about 110°F (43°C). Add the active dry yeast and honey, stirring to dissolve. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture, eggs, egg white, and unsweetened applesauce. Mix until a dough begins to form.
Knead the dough by hand or with a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook for about 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Incorporate the mini chocolate chips into the dough, making sure they are evenly distributed.
Lightly coat a large bowl with cooking spray and place the dough inside. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm, draft-free area for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the dough to release the air. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a small ball and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Cover the dough balls loosely with plastic wrap and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.
Bake the brioche in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy as a sweet snack or as an accompaniment to your breakfast spread.
