Ingredients
- 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup vegan butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
- 6 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the flaxseed meal and water. Stir well and let sit for 10 minutes to form a flax 'egg'.
Step 2
Warm the almond milk until it's lukewarm, not hot. Combine the warm almond milk with the yeast and 1 tablespoon of the sugar in a small bowl. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Step 4
Melt the vegan butter and allow it to cool slightly. Add the melted butter, vanilla extract, and flax 'egg' mixture to the dry ingredients.
Step 5
Pour the frothy yeast mixture into the bowl with the other ingredients and stir until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Step 6
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Step 7
After the dough has risen, gently deflate it and fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Step 8
Shape the dough into a loaf or divide it into equal parts and place it into a greased loaf pan or muffin tin, depending on your preference.
Step 9
Cover the shaped dough and let it rise again for about 30 minutes.
Step 10
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 11
Bake the brioche for 20 to 25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
Step 12
Allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Vegan Chocolate Chip Brioche warm or at room temperature.
