Chocolate Chip Brioche

This chocolate chip brioche loaf is tender, fluffy, and buttery, with a gorgeous golden exterior. It's dotted with rich dark chocolate chips.

Add warm milk, yeast and sugar to a stand mixer bowl. Add in eggs, flour, vanilla, and salt.

Turn the mixer on low speed and combine until it forms a thick dough. Add in butter a few cubes at a time.

Turn the mixer to medium speed and keep mixing until the sticky dough strengthens and passes the windowpane test.

It should pull away cleanly from the sides of the bowl.

Shape the dough into a ball and place it into a lightly oiled bowl.

Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and let it proof in a warm place until doubled size.

Pull the dough from the bowl onto a lightly floured work surface and cut it into four even pieces.

Take one piece and shape it into a rectangle. Press chocolate chips onto the bottom half of the rectangle, then fold it in half.

Press a few more chocolate chips on the top, then gather the sides of the dough to create a ball, tucking the chocolate chips inside.

Turn the ball upside down so it's seam side down, rolling it on the bench slightly to create some surface tension.

Place two balls in each loaf pan and let them double in size in a warm spot.

Brush with egg wash then bake until a deep golden brown.

A well-caramelized exterior gives amazing flavor.
