Ingredients

Scale
  • 200ml whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 45g granulated sugar
  • 20g cornstarch
  • 20g unsalted butter
  • 250ml warm whole milk
  • 50ml heavy cream
  • 75g granulated sugar
  • 7g instant dry yeast
  • 40g active sourdough starter
  • 3g fine salt
  • 165g bread flour
  • 385g all-purpose flour
  • 70g softened unsalted butter
  • 130g dark chocolate chips
  • 1 egg for egg wash
  • 2 tablespoons sugar for syrup
  • 2 tablespoons boiling water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pâtissière Cream: Heat 200ml of whole milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until bubbles form. In a bowl, whisk together 2 egg yolks and 45g of sugar. Add 20g of cornstarch. Pour hot milk into the egg mixture while whisking. Cook over medium heat until thickened. Stir in 20g of butter and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  2. Prepare the Brioche Dough: In a mixer, combine 250ml warm milk, 50ml heavy cream, 75g sugar, and 7g yeast. Allow to sit until foamy. Add 40g sourdough starter, 3g salt, 165g bread flour, and 385g all-purpose flour. Mix until smooth, then gradually add 70g butter. Form the dough into a ball and let rise until doubled, about 75-90 minutes.
  3. Shape the Brioche: Roll the dough into a rectangle and spread chilled vanilla cream over it. Sprinkle dark chocolate chips. Fold the dough into thirds and slice into strips. Twist each strip and shape into spirals. Place on a lined baking tray.
  4. Proof and Bake: Let the spirals proof for 40-60 minutes. Preheat oven to 200°C. Brush with egg wash and bake for 13-15 minutes until golden. Brush with a syrup made from 2 tablespoons sugar dissolved in 2 tablespoons boiling water.
