Chocolate Brioche

Brioche is one of those French bakery classics that has transcended borders, becoming synonymous with elegance and softness. Its origin dates back to the 17th century in Normandy, where it began as a bread enriched with butter and eggs, ingredients that give it its airy crumb, its spongy texture and its unmistakable flavor. Over time, brioche has been reinterpreted in multiple versions, both sweet and savory, always maintaining its artisanal character and its irresistible tenderness.

On this occasion, we present a version that pays homage to tradition, but with a contemporary twist: the Chocolate Brioche. The incorporation of chocolate in the dough not only enhances the flavor, but also turns this preparation into a real temptation for chocolate lovers. But beyond the flavor, this recipe stands out for its technical approach and precision in the balance of ingredients.

To achieve this, we have used Trehalose, a technical sugar that offers multiple benefits: it improves product preservation and softens the final sweetness, allowing the chocolate flavor to express itself more clearly. In addition, Trehalose improves the texture and delays the aging of the brioche, resulting in a more tender product for a longer time.

This chocolate brioche is an excellent option for breakfast or as an afternoon snack, or even as a base for more elaborate creations. We invite you to discover this recipe, designed for professionals who seek to go one step further without sacrificing flavor or tradition.
