How to Prepare Cloud Brioche with Chocolate Chips
First, prepare the starter dough. In a bowl, add 2/3 cup Manitoba flour, 1 1/2 tbsps sugar, 2/3 cup warm milk, and one packet of dry yeast. Mix with the fork until you get a smooth dough.
Cover with plastic wrap or a dish towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Take the dough and add the remaining ingredients, except for the chocolate chips. Work the mixture for at least 10 minutes. You should obtain a smooth and homogeneous dough. You can knead by hand, with a stand mixer, or a dough hook.
Place the dough in the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise until doubled in size. It will take about 3 hours.
After the rising time, take the dough and divide it into 5 equal parts. (I obtained 5 balls of about 4 1/2 oz each).
Flatten each ball with your hands on a lightly floured surface to form a circle. Spread the chocolate chips over the circle and gently press them to adhere well to the dough.
Fold the sides of the circle towards the center, then roll it up. You should form a sort of turnover. (You can watch this step in the video recipe above).
Place the 5 turnovers in a loaf pan previously lined with parchment paper. Cover with a dish towel and let it rise until doubled in size. It will take about two hours.
After the rising time, brush the surface of the brioche with milk and add the chocolate chips.
Bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for 10 minutes and then at 320°F for 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven, let it cool, and serve.
