Recipe:
Ingredients:
- Brioche Dough:
- 500g all-purpose flour (T45)
- 65g sugar
- 7g salt
- 24g fresh yeast
- 100g butter, cubed
- 1 vanilla pod, seeds scraped
- 300g oat milk or semi-skimmed milk
- Filling:
- 1 jar of chocolate spread of your choice
- 100g chocolate chips
- Glaze:
- Milk (as needed)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the salt, sugar, vanilla seeds, flour, milk, and yeast. Make sure the salt and sugar do not directly contact the yeast.
- Mix at medium speed until the dough starts to pull away from the sides. Add the butter gradually and continue kneading until the dough is smooth, shiny, and slightly sticky (about 15 minutes).
- Form the dough into a ball and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Shape the Rolls:
- Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the dough into a large rectangle (2-3mm thick).
- Spread the chocolate spread evenly over the dough, and sprinkle with chocolate chips. Roll up tightly.
- Place the rolled dough in the freezer for a few minutes to firm up, making it easier to slice.
- Cut the dough into 4-5cm thick slices and place them in a baking dish.
- Proof and Bake:
- Let the rolls rise for about 1 hour and 10 minutes until puffy.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).
- Brush the rolls with a mixture of milk and maple syrup and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden.
- Once baked, brush with a thin layer of maple syrup for added shine and flavor.
Enjoy your Decadent Chocolate Rolls warm, and relish in the rich, comforting flavors that make this treat a true crowd-pleaser!
