Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 ml Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 7 grams Active dry yeast
- 350 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 100 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large Eggs
- 100 grams Sugar-free chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water)
Instructions
Warm the milk in a saucepan over low heat until it is just lukewarm (around 38°C/100°F).
In a large bowl, combine the warm milk and honey, then sprinkle the yeast over the mixture. Let it stand for about 5 minutes until foamy.
To the yeast mixture, add the flour and salt. Mix until combined.
Add the softened butter, one egg at a time, mixing each egg thoroughly before the next is added.
Stir in the vanilla extract and knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm area until it doubles in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
Punch down the risen dough and knead in the sugar-free chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Divide the dough into even balls. Arrange them in a greased loaf pan or shaped into a desired brioche shape on a baking sheet.
Cover and let the shaped dough rise again for about 45 minutes until puffed.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Brush the dough with the egg wash. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the brioche is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Transfer the brioche to a wire rack to cool before serving.
