Buns with chocolate (Brioche o chocolat)
10 servings
140 minutes
Chocolate-filled buns, known as 'Brioche au Chocolat', are an exquisite dessert of French cuisine. Brioche originated in France in the 17th century, becoming a symbol of refined breakfasts and festive treats. Their softness is achieved through butter and milk, while chocolate pieces melt during baking.

We will knead the dough: combine the dry ingredients (except for chocolate) in a mixing bowl, melt the butter in the milk (carefully ensure the temperature does not exceed 50 degrees). Start the mixer on low speed and add the milk with butter; after the second egg, when everything is mixed, install the dough hook and increase the speed; knead for 6-7 minutes until the dough forms a ball. Transfer the dough to a floured bowl and place it in a warm place for an hour.

Let's prepare the rolls: chop the chocolate with a knife into pieces about the size of a coffee bean, mix the chocolate into the dough; divide the dough into pieces of 40-50 grams as desired; shape the rolls into balls by pulling the edge of the dough and wrapping it to the center (and rolling it slightly on the table until a ball forms).
