Meme’s Brioche

1: Start by mixing the yeast, sugar and water in the bowl of an electric mixer.

2: Add eggs, orange juice, orange blossom, oil and vanilla. Turn on the mixer and let everything get incorporated.

3: When ingredients are combined, add the flour and turn on the mixer for about 8-10 minutes. Turn off and let rest 1 minute.

4: Transfer to a large bowl, cover and let rest for 1 hour, or until double in size. The dough should be sticky but soft.

5: Lay down a handful of dough on sprayed surface and form a long oval shape. Use oil spray to help with the stickiness. Fill with about 1/4 cup of chocolate chips and roll. Place on lined baking sheet and cover. Repeat for all dough.

6: Let it rest for about 30 minutes.

7: Preheat oven at 350. Brush egg wash over each brioche and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for about 25 minutes, until the top browns.
