First, dissolve the yeast in warm milk.
Place the flours in a well in a bowl and add milk, sugar, egg and orange peel to the centre.
Start kneading, then add salt and oil and work until you obtain an elastic and homogeneous dough.
Cover with cling film and leave to rise in a warm place for at least 2-3 hours or until it has almost tripled in volume.
Take the dough, deflate it with your hands on a lightly floured work surface and roll it out into a fairly thin sheet (0.5-1 cm), then cut out the little men using a 7-8 cm cutter.
Place the little men on the baking tray lined with baking paper, well spaced apart, and let them rise for at least another hour, then brush them with the lightly beaten egg yolk and cook for 15-20 minutes or until golden in a static oven preheated to 180°C .
Remove from the oven and leave to cool, then chop the chocolate and melt it in the microwave or in a bain-marie.
Decorate the little men as desired with melted chocolate and chopped pistachios.
The brioche bread men are ready, let the chocolate dry before serving.
