Best 2 Mamas Chocolate Tear Share Brioche Recipes
MAMA'S TEAR & SHARE BRIOCHE
This is our family recipe for brioche. I make it in a cake tin so we can tear of individual pieces...have a look at the photos to see what I mean ;) This recipe is very easy to make & only has a few ingredients! If you don't have any vanilla sugar, put 1 or 2 vanilla pods in an airtight container with a bag of granulated sugar. I also have a Chocolate Tear & Share Brioche recipe.....

Steps:
- Mix the warm milk & yeast in a bowl. Leave to stand for a few minutes.
- Sift the 1oz of flour into the milk & yeast mix, add the 1 tsp of sugar & mix well. Leave to stand in a warm place for 10 mins or until frothy (will look a little like mousse!).
- While the starter is standing, sift the flour & salt into a mixing bowl. Add the vanilla sugar then rub in the butter. ( rub in method - rub the butter into the flour to create 'bread crumbs' - like you do with short crust pastry)).
- When the starter is frothy, whisk in the 2 eggs. When the eggs are fully incorporated, pour the mixture into mixing bowl & stir the ingredients until they come together to form a ball.
- Remove the ball of dough & knead on a lightly floured surface for a minute or until no longer sticky.
- Place the dough on a lightly floured dish or tray, cover & let rest in a warm place for around 90 minutes or until roughly doubled in size.
- When doubled in size, knead the dough again for another minute - just to knock the air out a bit.
- Dust a work surface with flour then divide the dough into 12 equal pieces ( cut dough into quarters then cut each quarter into thirds).
- Lightly grease a baking tin then place the balls inside - 3 in the middle of the tin & 9 around the edges - make sure there are spaces in between.
- Place in a preheated oven at 230 c for around 18 minutes. Start checking the brioche at 15 minutes, remove from oven when pale gold all over.
- Remove from tin & allow to cool.Put the icing sugar in a bowl and slowly add a tiny bit of hot water at a time, until you have a thick icing that you drizzle over the brioche. Slowly drizzle the icing over the brioch until it is almost covered.
- Tear off a piece when you want & enjoy!

- Dust a work surface with flour then divide the dough into 12 equal pieces ( cut dough into quarters then cut each quarter into thirds). Place a square of chocloate in the centre of each piece of dough then form into a ball.
- Lightly grease a baking tin then place the balls inside - 3 in the middle of the tin & 9 around the edges - make sure there are spaces in between.
- Place in a preheated oven at 230 c (450 F) for around 18 minutes. Start checking the brioche at 15 minutes, remove from oven when pale gold all over.
- Remove from tin & allow to cool.Divide the icing sugar into 2 bowls. Add the cocoa powder to one & add a tiny bit of hot water at a time to each, until you have a thick icing that you drizzle over the brioche. Slowly drizzle the icing over the brioch until it is almost covered.
- Tear off a piece when you want & enjoy!
Tips:
- To achieve the desired texture for the brioche dough, knead it until it becomes smooth and elastic, and passes the windowpane test. This means that when you stretch a small piece of the dough between your fingers, it should form a thin, translucent membrane without tearing.
- If you don't have a stand mixer, you can knead the dough by hand. Just be prepared to put in some elbow grease!
- Make sure to let the dough rise in a warm place, free from drafts. This will help it to rise properly and develop its flavor.
- To get the perfect golden brown color on your brioche, brush it with an egg wash before baking.
- You can store leftover brioche in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it for up to 2 months.
