Chocolate Swirl Brioche

This takes a crazy amount of time to make but oh my wordy lordy its worth it. It is light fluffy and tastes like velvet. The French have given us some lovely things in life.

Method

Step 1
Place the yeast and water in a bowl and mix to combine. Set aside in a warm place for 5 mins or until bubbles appear on the surface. Combine the sugar, salt and milk in a seperate bowl. Place the flour, yeast mixture and egg in the bowl of an electric mixer and using a dough hook beat on low for one minute. Increase speed to high, add the milk mixture and beat for 10 mins or until dough coms away from the sides of bowl.

Step 2
While the motor is running, gradually add the butter and beat for six to seven minutes or until glossy and elastic.

Step 3
Place the dough in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Set aside in a warm place for 2 - 32 hours or until the dough has doubled in size.

Step 4
Place the chocolate and cream in a small saucepan over low heat and stir for 2-3 minutes or until melted an smooth. Set aside to cool completely. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to a 45cm x 30cm rectangle. Spread the dough with the chocolate mixture and, starting from the longest edge, roll to enclose the filling. Place in a 22cm lightly greast round tin cover with a clean damp cloth and set aside for one hour or until doubled in size.
