How To Make Turkuaz Kitchen Chocolate Brioche Bread

1. Activate the yeast: In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup warm water, yeast, and a pinch of sugar. Let it rest until fluffy for 5-7 minutes.
2. Mix the dough ingredients: In a large bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl, combine flour, milk, sugar, salt, eggs, and the foamed yeast. Mix until combined for about 3-4 minutes. Cover with a cloth or plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 8-10 minutes.
3. Knead the dough: Knead the dough with a stand mixer or hand. Add room-temperature butter to the dough and continue to knead for 12-15 minutes.
4. First rise: Transfer the dough to a large oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap or a kitchen cloth, and let it rest in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2-2 hours.
5. Shape the dough: Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into two equal pieces. Using a rolling pin or your hands, roll out each piece into a small rectangle. Add chocolate chips, then fold and shape the dough as shown in the IG Reel. Using a sharp razor blade, cut around the dough horizontally as shown in the IG Reel. Repeat these steps with the other piece.
6. Second rise: Transfer the bread onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rest for 40-50 minutes at room temperature.
7. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
8. Prepare egg wash: In a small bowl, beat the egg and oil together. Brush each bread with the egg wash.
9. Bake the bread: Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
10. Cool and serve: Remove the breads from the oven and place them on a cooling rack. Allow them to cool slightly before serving warm.

Recipe Tips

• Use fresh yeast: Make sure your yeast is fresh and active for the best rise.
• Room temperature ingredients: Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature for smoother dough.
• Proper kneading: Knead the dough thoroughly to develop gluten, which gives the bread its structure.
• Warm rise environment: Let the dough rise in a warm place to help it double in size properly.
• Don’t overbake: Keep an eye on the bread while baking to prevent it from becoming too dry.
