Ingredients

Scale

2 cups + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
10g fresh yeast
3 large eggs
2/3 cup unsalted butter
1 cup + 2 teaspoons whole milk
1 vanilla pod
2 egg yolks
3/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

In a stand mixer, mix flour, sugar, salt, and crumbled yeast.
Add beaten eggs and knead until smooth.
Gradually incorporate softened butter while kneading until dense and slightly sticky.
Cover and let rise for about 2 hours until doubled in size.
Prepare custard by heating milk and butter with the vanilla pod; whisk together egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and flour separately before combining with the milk mixture.
Spread cooled custard on rolled-out dough, sprinkle with chocolate chips, fold over, cut into rectangles, place on a baking sheet, and allow to rise for another 2 hours.
Brush with beaten egg mixture; bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
