Ingredients

The ingredients needed for your recipe.

  • 500 g of flour
  • 7 g of dried baker's yeast
  • 80 g of sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 100g of soft butter
  • 200 ml of lukewarm milk
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 100g of chocolate chips

Instructions

Follow these steps carefully to get the best results.

  • In a large mixing bowl (or the bowl of a food processor if you want to make things easier), pour the flour, sugar, salt and yeast.
  • Add the eggs and lukewarm milk, then knead. The dough begins to take shape, and then you think: hey, it smells like Sunday morning brioche .
  • Incorporate the softened butter in small pieces, and continue kneading until you obtain a smooth and slightly elastic dough. Yes, I know, the temptation to taste it is strong… but be patient, the chef is watching! 😉
  • Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let it rest for 1 hour and 30 minutes. The dough should double in volume. It's a long process, but the magic of sourdough, my friends, is like a fine wine: it's worth the wait.
  • Deflate the dough (go ahead, give it a little punch, it's therapeutic!), then add the chocolate chips. Mix gently, as if you were hiding a treasure.
  • Shape into small individual balls and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Let it rise for another 30 minutes (yes, patience is always key in baking).
  • Bake for 15 minutes at 180°C (350°F). The kitchen fills with the aroma of butter and chocolate… it's hard not to stick your nose to the oven door!
  • Take out the brioches, let them cool for a few moments (if you can resist)... and enjoy.

Gourmet Tip

For an even fluffier version, replace some of the milk with heavy cream. Add a few white chocolate chips for an even more decadent marbled effect. (And honestly, that's a truly amazing treat 🏆).
