How to Make Chocolate Chip Brioche Buns
1. Prepare the Dough
- In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
- Add the warm milk and eggs, mixing until a sticky dough forms.
- Gradually add the softened butter, one tablespoon at a time, kneading until fully incorporated. The dough should be soft, smooth, and slightly elastic.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
2. Let the Dough Rise
- 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
- Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
- Roll each piece into a ball and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, spaced slightly apart.
4. Second Rise
- Cover the buns with a towel and let them rise again for 30–45 minutes, until puffed and almost doubled in size.
5. Bake
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Brush the buns with the egg wash for a golden, shiny finish.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
6. Cool and Enjoy
- Allow the buns to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm for the ultimate chocolate experience!
