3 Hours
Diets 
1 teaspoon dry yeast
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon sugar, divided
1/2 cup warm water
2 cups Glicks Flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter or margarine
beaten eggs, for egg wash
2 cups milk or nondairy milk
1 vanilla bean or 1 teaspoon Gefen Vanilla Extract
5 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
2/3 cup Haddar Mini Chocolate Chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Dissolve the yeast with one teaspoon sugar in the water and allow it to foam.
With your hands or a mixer, knead the flour, salt, remaining sugar, butter or margarine, and yeast mixture until it forms a smooth dough. Allow to rise for at least 30 minutes.
Pour the milk and vanilla into a saucepan and begin heating it. Place the eggs and sugar separately in a bowl and whisk together lightly until combined. When the milk is about to boil, add the cornstarch, whisking constantly to avoid lumps, and take the mixture off the heat.
Temper the eggs by adding about 3/4 cup of the milk mixture, whisk, and then pour the mixture back into the saucepan. Put the saucepan back over the heat and whisk. As soon as bubbles begin to form, take it off the heat. Transfer to a bowl, cover tightly, and refrigerate for two hours.
Roll the dough into a rectangle, roughly 12×16 inches (30×40 centimeters). Spread pastry cream with a spatula down the middle third of the rectangle. Fold the sides over the middle. Cut the resulting log into slices about two inches (five centimeters) wide and place the slices seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush with beaten eggs and bake for about 20 minutes, or until golden.
