So here is the chocolate brioche. Once again I forgot the glaze! I was very reluctant to call proof on this. It’s strange dough to work with. The other startling thing was that when I was about to pull it from the oven thinking it was done, I took its temperature. I really, really thought my thermometer had died. The internal temperature was 120°F after almost 30 minutes in the oven. I grabbed my other very reliable for thermometer, both of them Thermapens and it agreed. I covered the top with foil and continued baking it in my GE profile oven. Took, I think, another 15 minutes to reach 195°F which point I did pull it.
It has gone home with my grandchild and I’m hoping she will send me a photograph and a report. I really should have tried it before sending it off but she can put on such a puppy dog face and I just melt.
