For a soft and sweet snack break, choose brioche chinois! Easier to make than you think, its filling of vanilla custard and chocolate chips will make it irresistible. As usual, we guide you step by step through this recipe :-) Also known as "Schneckenkuchen" (due to its German origins!), this snail-shaped cake can have its filling changed according to your desires and tastes. For example, use raisins, pistachio pieces, or even coffee extract. For a little history, this brioche has nothing to do with the Chinese. The first French importer simply couldn't pronounce the German name of this recipe. To him, it was Chinese! That's how this more common name stuck :-)

Observations

My dough doesn't come off the bowl: If after 10 minutes of kneading after adding the butter, it doesn't come off, put the bowl of the mixer in the fridge. Leave it for a good ten minutes, then start kneading again. The dough heats up easily, and kneading too long tends to warm it up.
The flour: it should be type 45 or strong flour.
