Now that Thanksgiving is over, Christmas baking is in full swing! Do you have recipes that are yearly traditions in your house? I have a handful that make a yearly appearance, but I also enjoy trying new recipes this time of year!
Recently, I was supposed to be sleeping when all I could think about were new recipe ideas (yes, I understand that probably isn’t completely normal!).
Gingerbread brioche popped into my head and didn’t leave until I made it.
Of course, I couldn’t leave it at just gingerbread brioche. I had recently seen gingerbread caramels and knew that I wanted to incorporate caramel into the rolls somehow.
And then I saw the bag of white chocolate chips in my pantry and threw those in as well!
Soft, buttery gingerbread rolls filled with gooey caramel and melty white chocolate. These will be happening again. I realized that I haven’t shared a brioche recipe since these pretzels, which is way too long of a time to go without brioche!
So, I’m fixing that problem with this easy recipe. All you have to do is mix the dry ingredients together, yes, even the yeast thanks to my favorite Red Star Platinum Yeast. Then add in your wet ingredients, and beat until a soft dough forms.
In order to get that gooey center, all you have to do is make an indentation in your dough when shaping the rolls, stick a few caramel bits and white chocolate chips in and pinch the dough around the candy.
You’ll want to make sure that you seal off the candy well or else you’ll end up with a sticky mess on your baking sheet.
And yes, I know this from personal experience! Sprinkle on a spice sugar mix right before baking for some extract flavor, and these gingerbread brioche rolls will soon become a new yearly tradition!
