### **How to Make Chocolate Chip Brioche Buns**
#### **1. Prepare the Dough**
1. In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
2. Add the warm milk and eggs, mixing until a sticky dough forms.
3. Gradually add the softened butter, one tablespoon at a time, kneading until fully incorporated. The dough should be soft, smooth, and slightly elastic.
4. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
#### **2. Let the Dough Rise**
1. Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1–2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
#### **3. Shape the Buns**
1. Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
2. Roll each piece into a ball and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, spaced slightly apart.
#### **4. Second Rise**
1. Cover the buns with a towel and let them rise again for 30–45 minutes, until puffed and almost doubled in size.
#### **5. Bake**
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Brush the buns with the egg wash for a golden, shiny finish.
3. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
#### **6. Cool and Enjoy**
1. Allow the buns to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm for the ultimate chocolate experience!
