Instructions
Chocolate filling
- In a small bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients and add the melted butter and set aside.
Preparation of the brioche dough :
- Dissolve the instant yeast in the lukewarm milk and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Pour the flour, salt, sugar and soft butter into the bowl of your stand mixer with the hook, then add the diluted yeast and the eggs.
- Mix for about 5 to 10 minutes, until the dough comes away from the sides.
- Cover with a tea towel and leave to rise for about 2 hours, the dough should double in volume.
- After the first rise, place the dough on a floured work surface and remove gas by folding it over itself several times.
Assembly and cooking:
- Line a large rectangular baking dish with parchment paper.
- On a baking sheet or a floured worktop, spread the dough into a large rectangle (about 5 mm thick).
- Spread the filling and sprinkle chocolate chips over the entire surface.
- Begin by gently and tightly folding the edges lengthwise and continue rolling the dough across the entire width into a long side.
- Using a knife, cut it into 12 equal parts.
- Place your small pieces of rolled buns in your rectangular baking dish, avoiding sticking them together.
- Let them rise again for about 1 hour (they will double in volume and fill the empty spaces).
- Preheat your oven to 356°F/180°C and bake for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown
Chocolate sauce
