Equipment
- Electric Mixer With Dough Hook Attachment (Optional, But Helpful)
- Baking Pan (Loaf Pan Or Round Cake Pan)
- Plastic Wrap Or
- Kitchen Towel Clean
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Warm Whole Milk
- 2 1/4 tsp Active Dry Yeast
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 4 Eggs Large, At Room Temperature
- 3 1/2 All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Softened And Cut Into Small Pieces
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm milk and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- Add the granulated sugar and eggs to the yeast mixture, whisking until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft and slightly sticky dough forms.
- If using an electric mixer with a dough hook attachment, knead the dough on low speed for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Otherwise, knead the dough by hand on a floured surface for about 10 minutes.
- Gradually add the softened butter to the dough, a few pieces at a time, kneading until the butter is fully incorporated and the dough becomes smooth and shiny.
- Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a baking pan (loaf pan or round cake pan).
- Punch down the risen dough and shape it into your desired form (brioche can be shaped into a loaf, rolls, or individual buns). Place the shaped dough in the prepared baking pan.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise for an additional 30-45 minutes.
- Before baking, brush the top of the dough with beaten egg for a shiny finish.
- Bake the Brioche in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until it turns golden brown.
- Allow the Brioche to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
