Ingredients

Directions

  1. Take a mixing bowl and make a solution of yeast and warm water that will help the yeast dissolve easily. Wait 10-15 minutes for the mixture to foam up to show that the yeast is properly active.
  2. Then, take a big mixing bowl, combine the white all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and milk using a spatula. Mix until all of the ingredients are thoroughly combined. You have to stir the yeast mixture, which will make the dough come together.
  3. Gradually add the butter to the mixture, allowing each serving of butter to absorb into the dough. On a stand mixer, continue mixing for another 10 minutes on medium speed. Cover bowl tightly with an airtight plastic wrap, and set aside for 1-2 hours or until it has doubled in size.
  4. Place the soft dough on a dry and clean surface once it has fermented, then divide it into four equal pieces for the braid structure. Each piece should be rolled into 15 to 25” lengths and stacked vertically. Pinch the tops of the four pieces together.
  5. Criss-cross each piece with the one next to it, repeating until the pattern is complete.
  6. Brush the braided Brioche dough with egg wash before placing it on a baking pan. In the center of a preheated 350 °F oven, bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow it to cool to room temperature before slicing.

Tips

  • The use of a stand mixer will cut the time in half and double the texture of the components. Blend the eggs, sugar, flour, yeast and a cup of warm water in a mixing bowl to make brioche in a stand mixer.
  • Stir for 15 minutes at a low speed. Introduce the softened butter at a time to the mixer while it's spinning, mixing thoroughly after each round. Continue with the recipe after placing the dough in an oiled basin.
  • Butter should not be added at the start of the process. The reason for this is that butter prevents the development of a gluten network. This gluten network is necessary for the bread to have a robust, bouncy consistency.
  • In a brioche bread recipe, eggs have numerous functions. Eggs contain a lot more water, hence they add a lot to the moisture content. In addition, eggs have a greater influence on the color of the bread. Thus one must add an appropriate number of eggs for perfect execution.
  • It's best to chill the dough overnight; it's essentially a gradual fermentation that helps the dough acquire a delicate depth of flavor.

Brioche bread is known for having a buttery-egg flavor as well as being sweet. Brioche bread is referred to as "rich bread" since it is made with a variety of components including egg, butter, sugar, wheat, yeast, and cream.

Brioche bread is distinguished by the high fat and protein content of the following ingredients. Brioche is commonly consumed on its own or as the foundation of a dessert, with a variety of extra ingredients, fillings, and spices available locally.

The delicate and smooth result is always due to the use of sweetener, eggs, butter, and a good baking process. Brioche bread is ideal for breakfast or snacks with tea or coffee, as well as jam.
