Brioche Loaf

Brioche Loaf, sliced


Starter:

15 g fresh yeast
60 g milk
60 g flour

Dissolve yeast in warm milk. Add flour and combine. Leave covered in a warm place until it doubles it's volume.

Dough:

250 g flour
150 g eggs (that is about 3 large eggs; if they weight more, save the rest for finishing)
4 g salt
15 g powdered sugar
120 g butter, at room temperature

Add all the ingredients to the starter and knead into smooth dough. Kneading by hand will take about 20 minutes :) After you're done, measure 2 250 g pieces of dough. Flatten each piece into ellipse shape.

Place rolled dough into slightly oiled loaf pan. Cover and leave in a warm place until it fills the hole pan.

If you have any remaining dough make brioches. I had enough for two. When the dough is fully risen, spread the remaining egg on top. Bake in a preheated oven on 180°C for about 25-30 minutes.

  4. Beautiful bread, looks perfect for Sunday morning French Toast. 20 minutes kneading by hand is a bit much for me though, any idea how long in a stand mixer?

  9. @Kristine - I really don't know. I don't have a good stand mixer so I knead by hand. I guess when the dough stops sticking it's done.

  16. wonderful recipe!!! There's a bread that looked brioche-like from Kyoto, Japan. They claimed it's Danish bread but to me it tasted like (exactly) like brioche and tasted great when toasted. This recipe is definitely a keeper ..for me. Thank you so much for sharing. Now, I can try to bake it...

  22. "remaining egg"???
    is that one of the three or the extra egg?

    ReplyDelete
  23. @Raminta - You will need 150 g of eggs for the recipe. 3 large eggs is a little more than 150 g (measure them without the shells). If it's more you will have about 10-15 g of eggs remaining after measuring. That is what you use for spreading over the risen loaf.
