Description
Chocolate Brioche Bread is a delightful treat that combines the richness of brioche with the indulgence of chocolate, perfect for breakfast or dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup milk, warmed
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate, chopped or chocolate chips
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine warmed milk and sugar; add yeast and let it sit until frothy.
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs; mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth.
- Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread the chocolate evenly, and roll it up tightly.
- Cut the roll in half lengthwise, twist the two halves together, and form a braid.
- Place in a greased loaf pan, cover, and let rise again for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Brush the braid with beaten egg.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
- Let cool before slicing and serving.
