Mama's Chocolate Tear & Share Brioche image

This is the same basic recipe as my regular Tear & Share Brioche but this one has the added bonus of having chocolate centres & chocolate icing!

Time 28m

Yield 12 brioche, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (6 g) packet fast-rising active dry yeast
75 ml warm milk
1 teaspoon sugar
1 ounce strong white bread flour
2 free-range eggs
8 ounces strong white bread flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vanilla sugar
2 ounces unsalted butter
12 (1 ounce) your favourite chocolate squares
1 cup icing sugar
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
hot water

Steps:

  • Mix the warm milk & yeast in a bowl. Leave to stand for a few minutes.
  • Sift the 1oz of flour into the milk & yeast mix, add the 1 tsp of sugar & mix well. Leave to stand in a warm place for 10 mins or until frothy (will look a little like mousse!).
  • While the starter is standing, sift the flour & salt into a mixing bowl. Add the vanilla sugar then rub in the butter. ( rub in method - rub the butter into the flour to create 'bread crumbs' - like you do with short crust pastry)).
  • When the starter is frothy, whisk in the 2 eggs. When the eggs are fully incorporated, pour the mixture into mixing bowl & stir the ingredients until they come together to form a ball.
  • Remove the ball of dough & knead on a lightly floured surface for a minute or until no longer sticky.
  • Place the dough on a lightly floured dish or tray, cover & let rest in a warm place for around 90 minutes or until roughly doubled in size.
  • When doubled in size, knead the dough again for another minute - just to knock the air out a bit.
  • Dust a work surface with flour then divide the dough into 12 equal pieces ( cut dough into quarters then cut each quarter into thirds). Place a square of chocloate in the centre of each piece of dough then form into a ball.
  • Lightly grease a baking tin then place the balls inside - 3 in the middle of the tin & 9 around the edges - make sure there are spaces in between.
  • Place in a preheated oven at 230 c (450 F) for around 18 minutes. Start checking the brioche at 15 minutes, remove from oven when pale gold all over.
  • Remove from tin & allow to cool.Divide the icing sugar into 2 bowls. Add the cocoa powder to one & add a tiny bit of hot water at a time to each, until you have a thick icing that you drizzle over the brioche. Slowly drizzle the icing over the brioch until it is almost covered.
  • Tear off a piece when you want & enjoy!
