Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour (soft brioche base)
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (perfect fluffy rise)
  • 1/4 cup sugar (sweet dough balance)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (flavor enhancer)
  • 3 large eggs (rich dough texture)
  • 1/2 cup warm milk (soft fluffy consistency)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (buttery richness)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (aromatic vanilla boost)
  • 2 cups milk (creamy custard base)
  • 1/2 cup sugar (sweet creamy flavor)
  • 3 egg yolks (rich custard texture)
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch (thick custard consistency)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (classic vanilla flavor)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (gooey chocolate bites)
  • 1 egg (egg wash for golden shine)
  • Extra chocolate chips (bakery-style topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brioche Dough: Mix flour, yeast, sugar, and salt, then add eggs and warm milk to create a soft brioche dough and bakery-style texture. Knead in butter until smooth for a rich buttery dough and perfect fluffy rise.
  2. Let It Rise: Cover and let the dough rise until doubled in size for a light airy brioche and easy homemade bread. This step ensures a soft pillowy texture and best bakery results.
  3. Make the Vanilla Custard: Heat milk, whisk egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch, then combine and cook until thick for a creamy vanilla custard and smooth dessert filling. Stir in vanilla and fold in chocolate chips for a gooey chocolate custard and ultimate sweet treat.
  4. Fill and Shape: Roll out dough, fill with custard, and shape into small brioches for a stuffed brioche dream and bakery-style pastry. Let them rest briefly for a perfect rise finish and soft fluffy bake.
  5. Bake to Golden Perfection: Brush with egg wash, sprinkle chocolate chips, and bake at 350°F (175°C) until golden brown for a glossy golden brioche and irresistible sweet pastry. Cool slightly and enjoy that creamy chocolate center and next-level dessert vibe.
