How to Make Chocolate Chip Brioche Buns

1. Prepare the Dough

  1. In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
  2. Add the warm milk and eggs, mixing until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Gradually add the softened butter, one tablespoon at a time, kneading until fully incorporated. The dough should be soft, smooth, and slightly elastic.
  4. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.

2. Let the Dough Rise

  1. Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1–2 hours, or until it doubles in size.

3. Shape the Buns

  1. Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
  2. Roll each piece into a ball and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, spaced slightly apart.

4. Second Rise

  1. Cover the buns with a towel and let them rise again for 30–45 minutes, until puffed and almost doubled in size.

5. Bake

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Brush the buns with the egg wash for a golden, shiny finish.
  3. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.

6. Cool and Enjoy

  1. Allow the buns to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm for the ultimate chocolate experience!
