Steps for the Chocolate Chip Buns

• The first step to make these tasty chocolate chip buns is to prepare the brioche dough. For convenience, I used a stand mixer, but you can also do everything manually in a bowl and then on a pastry board. In the stand mixer bowl, add the flour, the brewer’s yeast dissolved in two fingers of milk, and the granulated sugar, and mix for a few minutes at speed 2 using the hook attachment. Then add the eggs with the vanilla essence and let it mix for a few more moments. Gradually add the remaining milk slowly and continue mixing. Also add the salt. Finally, gradually add the soft butter in pieces, let it absorb, and continue mixing. To obtain a smooth and homogeneous dough, it will take a total of at least 15-18 minutes or until the dough is well combined. Finally, add the chocolate chips and incorporate them by hand on a pastry board or in the stand mixer. Let the dough rise then in a large bowl covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator for 6 hours.

  

• After 6 hours, take the dough out of the refrigerator and now gently take some pieces of dough and form balls of about 1.75 oz each. Once the balls are of equal size and weight, place them spaced apart on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, cover the surface with plastic wrap, and let rise in the turned-off oven for about 3 hours or until doubled. To prevent the plastic wrap from sticking to the dough during rising, just lightly sprinkle the buns with a little flour. After the final rise, brush the surface of each bun with milk + yolk. Bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes or until golden. Turn off, take out of the oven, and let them cool.
