Description
Truly, these might be one of our favorite things that we’ve ever made. Soft, fluffy, warm brioche with melty chocolate chips scattered throughout the roll, resulting in a bakery worthy treat!
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups warm milk (heated to 100 F degrees)
6 Tbsp. melted butter (not hot)
1/4 cup white sugar
2 1/4 tsp. active dry yeast
5 cups all-purpose flour + 2 Tbsp. (if needed)
1 tsp. salt
2 large eggs, room temp.
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
1. In the bowl of a stand mixer whisk together 1 1/2 cups warm milk, 6 Tbsp. melted butter, and 1/4 cup white sugar. Next sprinkle in in 2 1/4 tsp. active dry yeast, whisk it in and let it rise for 10 minutes until foamy.
2. Once the yeast has risen add in 5 cups all-purpose flour and 1 tsp. salt. Turn the machine to low, until the dough comes together. Add in 2 large eggs and increase the mixer to medium for about 8-10 minutes. If the dough is too sticky, add in 2 Tbsp. of flour. The dough should be elastic and slightly sticky.
3. Place the dough into a large bowl, cover with saran wrap, and let it rise for 1 hour at room temp. until doubled in size.
4. Once risen, stretch the dough out a bit, and start kneading in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
5. Divide the dough into 10 even balls (each 5.6 oz.) and shape them each into smooth round balls. Place the rolls onto a lined baking sheet with parchment paper (make sure to space them out since they do expand quite a bit in the oven). Add on some extra chocolate chips for a pretty presentation.
6. Cover and let the rolls rise for 15 minutes. Then brush with egg wash (whisk together 1 egg), and bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
7. Let them cool a couple minutes before serving, and enjoy!

Could you maybe clarify if the 100 degrees and oven temp are celsius or fahrenheit just for people not in the US? other then that great recipe.
Yes, thanks for telling us! We just added Fahrenheit to the 100 degrees.
Is the rolls baked at 350 degrees or 450 degrees? I’m looking forward to making them. But I don’t want them to burn of be doughy.
The rolls are baked at 350F! 🙂
love this recipe! Had similar rolls in germany and fell in love with them! For the flour, could you provide the recommended weight in grams?
The amount of flour in this recipe is equal to 625 grams. Hope this helps!
I made them last week and they came out so good! Thanks for sharing the recipe🫶🏼
Yay! So happy you loved them!
Are you suppose to whisk for 10 minutes after you add the yeast or just whisk it up and let it set 10 minutes? The instructions aren’t very clear for someone who has never made this before.
Sorry that the instructions are unclear! After adding the yeast, you are supposed to give it a quick whisk, then just let is sit for 10 minutes. Hope this helps!
Hi, how would you storage them and how long are they good for in room temperature.
You can keep them at room temperature in an air tight container up to 3 days!
The dough was very sticky and hard for me to shape? Any idea where I went wrong?
The dough can be slightly different each time you make it, so sometimes the dough can be stickier than others. You may need to add a bit more flour than 2 just 2 Tbsp (check step 2)! Hope this helps!
So I may run out of time before I have to head out for about an hour, is how long I’ll be gone… ok to let the rise more than 15 minutes before baking them?
Is it possible to freeze either the rolls or the dough? I’m just making them now!
We haven’t tried it, but you should be able to! Right before the final proofing (right before baking), tightly wrap the rolls in plastic wrap, then place in an airtight container and then place in the freezer. This prevents freezer-burn. Hope this helps!
i don’t get this i measured 625 grams and it’s not 5 cups are my measuring cups different?
