Combine lukewarm plant-milk and yeast in a bowl; let sit until frothy.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together bread flour (or all-purpose flour), sugar, and instant dry yeast.

Add the lukewarm water, sunflower oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients; mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl; cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.

Punch down the dough and fold in the dark chocolate chips and orange zest evenly.

Shape the dough into a loaf or braid and place in a greased loaf pan.

Cover and let rise again for about 30-45 minutes until puffed.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake the brioche for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
