Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 1h5m

Yield 12 muffin 'loaves', 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

500 g bread flour
250 g milk
2 eggs
50 g sugar
15 g instant yeast
5 g salt
1/2 cup butter, diced (unsalted)
1 egg white (mixed with a little water)

Steps:

  • Mix everything together in your mixer until you get a nice really smooth dough. This can take a while. In my case it took about 15 minutes, scraping down the dough every few minutes from the dough hook in the mixer.
  • After it's mixed, place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turn to coat (so it won't dry out) then let it rise in a draft-free place until doubled. This might take as much as 2 hours since the large amount of butter will slow the rise. WAIT!
  • After rising, de-gas the dough, cut it into about 12 equal pieces, press them fairly flat then add some chocolate chips.
  • Roll the dough into a round shape and place on parchment paper to rise, covered for about 45 minutes. If you want, you can instead place the filled dough balls in a lightly greased muffin tin to maintain the round shape. They do come out much prettier that way! Let the dough rise in the tin until they overflow the tops a little to make the traditional 'mushroom' top.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 365 F (185 C). Just before placing in the oven, brush gently with a wash of egg white and water. Sprinkle with sesame seed if you want. I think it make them tastier but it's just a matter of taste. Bake for 10 minutes, turn them 180 degrees for even baking, them bake another 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Activate the yeast properly: Use warm water (105-115°F) and a pinch of sugar to activate the yeast. Proof the yeast for 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes foamy.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: Brioche is a rich bread, so it's important to use high-quality ingredients. Use unsalted butter, fresh eggs, and all-purpose flour.
  • Knead the dough properly: Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. This will help develop the gluten in the flour, which will give the brioche its characteristic texture.
  • Let the dough rise properly: Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to ferment and produce carbon dioxide, which will make the brioche light and airy.
  • Bake the brioche at a high temperature: Bake the brioche at a high temperature (375°F) for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

Brioche is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It can be served plain or with a variety of toppings, such as butter, jam, or chocolate spread. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make brioche bread at home.
