Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- 33 grams of sugar
- 1/2 vanilla bean
- 5 grams of salt
- 8 grams of fresh yeast
- 240 grams of all-purpose flour
- 160 grams of unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 jar of your favorite chocolate spread
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the salt, flour, sugar, and crumbled fresh yeast, making sure the yeast is placed away from the salt and sugar. Add the eggs and mix on low speed until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl. Gradually add the room-temperature butter in two parts, and continue mixing on low speed until the butter is fully incorporated and no longer visible. Increase the speed to medium and knead for about 15 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured bowl, cover it, and let it rest at room temperature for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until doubled in size. Once risen, place the dough on a work surface, gently deflate it, and fold it over itself. Return the dough to the bowl, cover it tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 6 hours.
After chilling, divide the dough into 80-gram portions. Shape each portion into a ball and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Surround each dough ball with greased 8cm diameter, 7-8cm high pastry rings. Let the dough balls proof in a turned-off oven with a bowl of warm water inside for 1.5 hours.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Brush the tops of the brioche rolls with a mixture of egg yolk and a teaspoon of cream. Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Once baked, allow them to cool slightly before filling each roll with chocolate spread using a piping bag.
Enjoy these delicious brioche rolls with a cup of tea or coffee!
