Here is one of our favorite Christmas recipe! A super soft brioche bread, stuffed with chocolate!

INGREDIENTS

450g (3 1/2 cups) flour

70g (1/3 cup) sugar

7g (1 1/2 tsp) dry yeast

a pinch of salt

30g (2 tbsp) butter, softened

250ml (1 cup) warm milk

2 egg yolks

250g (1 cup) hazelnut cream

5g (1 tsp) vegetable oil

eggwash

Powdered sugar (for decoration)

METHOD

In a bowl combine all the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. To the same bowl add wet ingredients: softened butter, milk, and egg yolks.
Using a spatula or a fork bind all the ingredients together and then using your hands form the mixture into a dough.
Place obtained dough on the floured working surface and knead it for approximately 10 minutes or until smooth.
Pour some vegetable oil into a bowl and grease the dough in it, cover with a kitchen cloth or plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Divide the dough into 4 parts and roll each piece into a triangle shape.
Arrange one piece of the triangle-shaped dough on a working surface and spread it all over with hazelnut cream. Don't spread the cream on the bottom of the triangle, except in the middle which is the tree trunk.
Top with the second triangle shape and spread with hazelnut cream again. Repeat with the remaining dough and cream but don’t top the last triangle with hazelnut cream.
Using a sharp knife, cut along both sides of the ‘dough tree’ to form nice straight edges and form the ‘trunk’ by cutting off the excess dough at the bottom.
Mark two imaginary lines from the trunk to the top. Make cuts from the imaginary line to the edge at about 2 cm intervals all the way to the top, on both sides of the “tree”.
Take each “tree branch”, twist towards the top of the tree, and lay it back down. Continue until all the pieces have been twisted.
Cover the “tree” with a damp cloth and leave to rise in a warm place for 40 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F. Brush the egg wash over the tree and place in the oven for 15 minutes or until golden.
Allow to cool slightly, transfer on a serving tray. Sprinkle some icing sugar on top and serve!
