Easy Brioche

I've been struggling lately with food for the girls.  They are currently incredibly picky about what they eat.  I can't help but feel I did something wrong and it is my fault.  Deep down I know it is just a phase, about them controlling things, and this too shall pass.  They are like me however, and demand variety in their diet.  The other day I made brioche in my bread machine for breakfast, and it was pretty much a universal hit.  I for one, loved it.  Here is the recipe I used.  Brioche with chocolate chips

The modifications I made to the recipe:

 I used my bread machine for the dough.  I used 1/2 plain flour and 1/2 bread flour.  I added everything but the chocolate chips into the bread pan and set it on the white dough cycle. My machine doesn't have a sweet bread cycle, but some do and you could use that.  After it had gone through the first bit of kneading I added the chocolate chips.  They didn't melt, and it worked well this way.

After the cycle was done I took the dough out and divided it into 12 portions.  I put these in a muffin tin (I used a silicone tray and didn't need oil).  Then I allowed them to rise for another 1/2 hour while the oven heated and I got on with other things.  Right before baking I brushed the dough with egg white and sprinkled with demerara sugar.  I baked at 180C for 20 minutes.  Viola!
