Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 10g fresh yeast
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 vanilla pod
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup sugar (for custard)
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. In a stand mixer, combine flour, sugar, salt, and crumbled yeast. Mix thoroughly.
  2. Add beaten eggs and knead for about 2-3 minutes. Gradually add softened butter and knead until smooth (up to 20 minutes).
  3. Cover the dough and let it rise for about 2 hours until doubled in size.
  4. For the custard, heat milk with butter and vanilla pod until bubbling. In another bowl, whisk egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and flour; slowly mix in hot milk while whisking.
  5. Return to heat until thickened; cool completely before using.
  6. Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread custard on half, sprinkle with chocolate chips, fold over, and cut into pieces.
  7. Place on a baking sheet to rise for another 2 hours. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C), brush with egg wash, and bake for about 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Prepare sugar syrup by boiling water and sugar together; brush over warm brioches once baked.
