How to Make Vegan Chocolate Brioche

At first I thought it might be tricky to make this chocolate chip brioche loaf. However after much procrastination initially and a few attempts to perfect this chocolate brioche recipe, I feel it is the perfect balance.

It rises beautifully with the help of the active dry yeast, and being allowed to double in size patiently in a warm place. Room temperature is fine, however a spot on the sunny windowsill will always help.

You can most certainly use fresh yeast, however understandably dried yeast is more accessible with a much longer shelf life.

The process of waiting for it to rise was somewhat therapeutic, alongside the kneading process. The longer it is left to rise in the mixing bowl, the fluffier and dreamier it will be.

Total Time 1 hour 30 minutes

Ingredients

300g plain flour
7g dried yeast
80mls warm water
80mls warm oat milk
60g melted vegan butter
1tsp vanilla essence
40g golden caster sugar
50g vegan chocolate chips
pinch of salt

Instructions

Mix the 7g of dried yeast with 80mls of warmed water. Leave to one side to bubble up.
Sieve 300g of plain flour into a mixing bowl (I used pre-sifted flour), add the 40g caster sugar, pinch of salt and 50g of vegan chocolate chips.
Once the yeast has become foamy, add the 80mls of warmed oat milk and 60g of vegan melted butter and 1 tsp of vanilla essence
Make a well in the dry ingredients then fold in the wet ingredients.
Knead gently to form the dough. Add a sprinkle of more flour if the dough is too sticky. It should be a nice smooth texture.
Leave this dough to rise in a bowl, in a warm place. Put a clean cloth or tea towl over the bowl.
Preheat the oven to 200c/390f/gas mark 6
Once the dough has risen to almost double the size (give about an hour for this) - divide the dough into six balls.
Place them side by side in a lined loaf tin - its ok if they are squished in there as they will form a beautiful textured chocolate brioche loaf. Brush the tops with a little oat milk to give a nice glaze.
Bake for twenty minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
If you would prefer chocolate chip brioche rolls instead of a loaf, divide the mixture into 8 brioche rolls and bake for a little less time, 15 minutes or so until golden brown and cooked through.
Leave to cool on a rack before serving. Enjoy with a smear of vegan butter, vegan chocolate spread and a hot drink - delicious!
