Ingredients:
Brioche Dough:
- 17.6 ounces of T45 flour
- 2.3 ounces of sugar
- 0.25 ounces of salt
- 0.85 ounces of fresh yeast
- 3.5 ounces of butter
- 1 vanilla pod
- 10.6 ounces of oat milk or semi-skimmed milk
Filling:
- 1 jar of chocolate spread
- 3.5 ounces of chocolate chips
Glaze:
- A splash of milk
- 1 tablespoon of maple syrup
Instructions:
- In a stand mixer with a dough hook, combine the salt, sugar, vanilla, flour, and milk with the yeast, ensuring the yeast doesn't directly touch the salt or sugar.
- Knead at medium speed until the dough pulls away from the sides. Then, add the butter in small pieces, continuing to knead until the dough is smooth, shiny, and slightly sticky.
- Form the dough into a ball and refrigerate in a large bowl for 1 hour.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a large rectangle (about 1/16 inch thick). Spread the chocolate spread evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with chocolate chips. Roll up the dough tightly.
- Freeze the roll for a few minutes to firm up, then slice into 1.5-2 inch pieces. Place the pieces in a baking dish.
- Allow to rise for about 1 to 1 hour and 10 minutes. Preheat the oven to 356°F (180°C).
- Brush the rolls with a mixture of milk and maple syrup before baking for 20-25 minutes.
- Once baked, brush with a thin layer of maple syrup for a glossy finish.
Indulge in these decadent chocolate rolls and let the rich flavors and soft, fluffy texture make your day a little sweeter.
Enjoy!
