150g Eggs
30g Sugar
6g Salt

150g Butter
12 GUANAJA MELTY CENTER
Take the butter out of the refrigerator.Mix together all the ingredients apart from the butter.Knead in a stand mixer for approx. 10 minutes, then slowly incorporate the butter until the dough starts coming away from the bowl. Ideally, the dough temperature should be between 75 and 77°F (24°C and 25°C) once it has been kneaded.Place the dough in a mixing bowl and cover with a clean cloth.Leave for no more than 2 hours to mature at room temperature to start the rising process and release the aroma precursors.Knock back the dough and spread it out onto a tray, covering with plastic wrap. Leave to stiffen overnight in the refrigerator.Cut it into 50g pieces and put a GUANAJA MELTY CENTER inside each one. Roll the dough into balls.
Assembly and finishing
Heat the oil to 285°F (140°C). Immerse the brioche balls in it for 5 minutes and drain them on kitchen paper or a clean cloth. Then heat the oil to 355°F (180°C) and immerse the brioches again for 1 to 2 minutes until golden. Drain on kitchen paper or clean cloth to get rid of any excess oil. Sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar and serve.
