01Viennese bread originates from Vienna. It is said to have been introduced to the French capital by an Austrian student wishing to make the delicious bread from his home country.

This bread is very soft and not too sweet, making it a perfect breakfast treat. I've slightly modified this recipe I found online, but it's still an excellent, tried-and-tested recipe!

Ingredients

• 250 g of flour
• 1 tablespoon of baker's yeast
• 100 ml of milk or soy milk for a pareve version
• 1 sachet of vanilla sugar
• 1 egg
• 30 g of sugar
• 30g of butter or margarine for a pareve version
• Chocolate chips

Preparation

Dissolve the baker's yeast in the milk, then let it rise for 10 minutes.

In a bowl, mix the flour with the salt and sugar.

Make a well in the center, pour in the milk and yeast mixture, then add the butter.

Knead the dough for about 15 minutes.

Form a ball and place it in a bowl. Cover with a clean cloth, then let it rise for 2 hours in a warm place.

Knead the dough lightly again. Add the chocolate chips, then shape your baguettes.

Let them rise a second time for 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 240°C.

Brush the baguettes with the egg, then make incisions along their entire length.

Bake for 10 minutes. Then reduce the oven temperature to 180°C and continue baking for approximately 15 minutes.
