- Add softened butter, incorporate it into the dough and continue kneading until well incorporated, smooth and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Transfer the dough into an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap.
- Let the dough rest for about 1 hour at room temperature (warm space) until doubled in size.

- Add chocolate chips to the dough and gently incorporate them into the dough.
- On a floured surface turn the dough out and divide into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into balls.
- Transfer the dough pieces into a 12-cup greased muffin pan. Cover with a kitchen towel and let the brioches rest for 15-20 minutes.
- Meanwhile preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Brush each brioche with beaten egg and sprinkle sugar on top.
- Bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown.
