►► Get the recipe 🥐 https://www.erinjeannemcdowell.com/re... In this episode of Happy Baking, I'm making one of my favorite pastries (that can be hard to find in the US): Viennoise Au Chocolat or Chocolate Vienna Bread! This soft, individually sized mini-loaf is made from an enriched yeasted dough that produces a golden brown exterior and a soft, fluffy interior crumb. This version is studded with chocolate, and it’s a truly perfect, just sweet enough pastry. Often enjoyed for breakfast or as an afternoon snack, I believe this recipe deserves a spot in your regular baking rotation! I'll show you how to mix the dough, let it rise and shape these delightful pastries. Your kitchen is going to smell like a boulangerie! So grab some butter and let's get baking 🥐 #happybaking ►► INGREDIENTS 540 g / 4 ½ cups bread flour 28 g / ¼ cup dry milk 66 g / ⅓ cup granulated sugar 8 g / 2 teaspoons fine sea salt 9 g / 1 tablespoon instant yeast 115 g / ½ cup cold whole milk 226 g / 4 large eggs, at room temperature 226 g / 1 cup unsalted butter, cut into about 1 inch / 2.5 cm cubes 226 g / 8 ounces dark, bittersweet, or semisweet chocolate chips (see Note) Egg Wash, as needed for finishing (see Note) ►►CHAPTERS 0:00 intro 01:36 a brief history 03:54 the dough 9:14 the chocolate 11:47 first, a pre-shape 13:32 shaping the bread 16:16 scoring 17:48 baking 19:00 a review of the bake 23:42 outro 📚 ERIN'S BOOKS📚: https://amzn.to/3UA16np 🥣 ERIN'S BAKING ESSENTIALS 🥣: https://amzn.to/3wBgo3d (As an Amazon Affiliate I earn commissions from qualifying purchases.) ►► FOLLOW ERIN WEBSITE: https://www.erinjeannemcdowell.com/ INSTAGRAM:   / emcdowell   TIKTOK:   / erinjeannemcdowell   PINTEREST:   / erinjmcdowell   ►► VIDEO CREDITS Producer/Director: Gabriella Mangino DP: Michael Martin Editor: Josh Dion Graphic Design: Tart NYC Motion: Joe Rufa
