Instructions
Filling
- Beat the eggs and brown sugar until the mixture triples in volume and is firm.

Brioche
- Mix the yeast and sugar in warm milk and set aside for 15 minutes.
- Add the flour and butter to the bowl of a stand mixer and whisk until reaching a sandy texture.
- Swap the whisk for the hook attachment.
- Make a well in center of flour and add the beaten eggs.
- Start the stand mixer on low speed and gradually add the milk, sugar and yeast mixture, then add salt, gradually increase the power to medium / high, and knead until you get a non-sticky and soft dough.
- From the moment the dough is wrapped around the hook, kneading should continue for at least 5 to 7 minutes.
- At the end of kneading, the dough should be homogeneous, wrapped around the hook and pulled away from the sides of the bowl.
- Put the dough in a large container, cover with a cloth and let the it rest for 45 minutes in a warm place away from drafts. It should at least double in volume.
- On a floured surface, roll the dough and divide in 6 equal parts.
- Roll each portion into a rectangle with a rolling pin.
- Spread the filling and sprinkle with sliced almonds and chocolate chips.
- Roll the dough on itself tightly and form a long "sausage".
- Cut the roll in half lengthwise.
- Braid the two pieces together and give the braid a crown shape. Shape the braid tightly.
- Cover with a cloth and let the crown rise for 30 minutes in a warm place.
- Preheat convection oven to 350 F (180˚C).
- Brush with egg yolk, chocolate chips and almonds and bake for 20 to 30 minutes.
