Ingredients
- 240 ml warm skim milk
- 7 g active dry yeast
- 50 g honey
- 500 g all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 piece egg white
- 50 g unsweetened applesauce
- 100 g mini chocolate chips
- 0 cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, warm the skim milk to about 110°F (43°C). Add the active dry yeast and honey, stirring to dissolve. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture, eggs, egg white, and unsweetened applesauce. Mix until a dough begins to form.
Step 3
Knead the dough by hand or with a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook for about 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Step 4
Incorporate the mini chocolate chips into the dough, making sure they are evenly distributed.
Step 5
Lightly coat a large bowl with cooking spray and place the dough inside. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm, draft-free area for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Step 6
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 7
Punch down the dough to release the air. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a small ball and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 8
Cover the dough balls loosely with plastic wrap and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.
Step 9
Bake the brioche in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
Step 10
Enjoy as a sweet snack or as an accompaniment to your breakfast spread.
