This is the easiest recipe for brioche bread that I have tried and that always goes well. You can make it in the Thermomix, conventional blender or by hand and you will be so easy to do it constantly. I do it as me as the toast bread and bread for breakfast on weekends, and I assure you that it is a pleasure.
When you make bread brioche at home, the kitchen smells like glory because the smell of the butter with the flour baking is a pleasure.
To my transports me to my childhood, when in family snacks my mother spent the afternoon baking breads buns that we drank with French butter and homemade jams of different flavors that she prepared with fruits and by which all played the palms. And as I have said before, you can do it in a foot, hand or thermomix blender.
They are recipes of life which in my house are not lost and that Easter always take to bake and then prepare French toast, so if you like this, I bring back from the toast I've done this year with this super bread brioche that is so rich. Let's go for it!
- 90 g milk
- 30 g fresh yeast bakery
- 4 eggs
- 520 g flour strength
- 85 g sugar
- 7 g salt
- 100 g butter at room temperature
Directions
Grease well a rectangular of about 30-32 cm long. Book.
Tuning the milk. Dissolve yeast crumbled in the milk with the help of your hands and mix well.
In an electric mixer bowl or thermomix, add the mixture, eggs, flour, sugar and salt and whisk medium-low with the hook attachment until the mixture is even. You can also mix by hand in a large bowl. Knead with the hook for 5 minutes. Stop for 2 minutes and knead for 5 minutes.
If done in the thermomix, set 30 seconds at speed 6. Then, schedule 3 minutes in closed vessel function and speed herring bone.
To do it by hand, kneading until the dough does not stick, 15 minutes making stops every 5 minutes to rest the dough for a minute.
If you do this in an electric mixer, with the mixer running, start adding the butter at room temperature to the dough and continue whisking until all the butter is integrated, remove the hook and cover the bowl with a cloth. Let stand for an hour in a warm place (the best inside the oven off). After this time, reposition the hook and knead for a couple of minutes at medium-low speed to deflate the dough.
If you do it in the thermomix, schedule 2 minutes in closed vessel and speed herring bone, and add the butter by the bocal. Leave the dough in the bowl for 1 hour. Once passed this time, get dough with spatula and knead 1 minute, closed vessel, speed herring bone.
To do this by hand, flip the dough over the countertop and start adding the butter by kneading each time before adding more butter. It's easy but a more elaborate process. Form a ball and let it rest for an hour in a greased bowl and covered with a cloth.
After an hour, remove the dough from the bowl or thermomix, and spread with your hands forming a rectangle. Now fold the dough with 3 folds: the top to the center and the bottom equal, so that we have a rectangle of three layers.
Place dough inside rectangular pan and let stand an hour or an hour and a half until it has doubled in volume. There will be inflation and will have a beautiful hump. Let it rest in a place without streams and if weather is better. I put it in the oven off and closed that it is where I always leave stand for my mass and works very well
Passed this time. Turn on the oven to 200 degrees.
Using a kitchen brush, paint the surface of the pan, which will be very inflated, with beaten egg, but carefully so that the dough is not lower. Bake for 30 minutes. After the first 20 minutes, if bread Browns too, put a foil on top and continue baking.
Leave to cool in the mould and enjoy!
- Well hold a day for another well wrapped in plastic wrap
- Serve with butter and jam or use it in your French toast
- Difficulty: easy
- Preparation time: 3 hours
- Servings: 13-15 slices
Hello Lolita! Can I add yeast to cold milk? I think it always happened calentandola and kill the... Thank you for your recipes!
The milk should not be tempered slightly warm but not cold, because then the yeast will not act :) A hug and thanks for writing
Hello Lola! Butter has to be added with dough? Or is it only good for spreading the mold?
Hello Jessica, to the dough you have to add the 100 g of butter as indicated by the recipe:
with the blender running, start adding the butter at room temperature to the dough and continue whisking until all the butter is integrated,
Big pretty kiss and thank you for writing
Hello! Can you use dry baker's yeast? Thank you
Of course, fresh baker's yeast can always be replaced by dry baker's yeast considering that 25 g of fresh yeast equals 9 g of dried baker's yeast. A hug
Sorry, Loleta... This spell!
lol nothing nothing :)
Hello!!!
time ago I follow... I like the passion you put in everything you do...
I decided to develop this brioche bread, (never before I had driven with masses...) I started this because I thought it was very easy and I decided... but, I was too dry...
I did the steps one by one, I stopped to rest mass times you give, on the first Sabbath, my dough had not climbed anything... I suppose that it should have it left until it doubled in volume, I think that could be the fault... I do not know
As I say my experience with mass is zero...
After the first time, when there it to knead a bit and extend to bend in 3, my dough was very sticky... took me long to extend it, so I added flour, may also have happened...
Some of advice you can give me?
thanks
Hi Eva, so something must have happened because this bread has done many people and everyone has left them well.
The yeast you have used is important. Care that isn't last date and careful with the temperature of the milk. If the yeast is too hot it will not work.
The time of rising it is approximate and depends on the humidity and temperature. You must leave it in a place without streams. My favorite place is the oven off and closed and you must let it stand there that has doubled the volume. If the first does not rise, then don't upload then and I think that is what has happened to you.
Do not ever add more flour. If the dough is sticky, needs a little more kneading and resting, but no more flour because then the mass is altered and no longer equal queds. you will be a dry bread and harder to count.
If you have a thermomix or electric mixer is much easier, but do not despair. This bread is super rich and worth to try. If you have any questions tell me that you'll see as you go well the next time. Let me know pretty. A kiss
Hello Loleta. I love all your recipes. Do I want to know if I can replace the fresh yeast for baking powder? If so, that amount should I use? And at what point should I add it? Thank you for taking the time to share with us all your delicacies.
Hi Laura,
If you can and is added at the same time. The amount of dry yeast Baker's is only 1/3 of the amount of fresh Baker yeast. I.e. you should add 10 g of dry yeast for Baker. Put the yeast in the warm milk and leave it for 5 minutes and already add it following as is with the recipe. A huge kiss and thank you very much for writing
Hello Laura good morning I would like to know if it could be made with wholemeal flour and would use the same amount of flour
Hello! I'm not Laura, it's Lola! You've made a mistake ... HahahaHa Well I've never made a brioche bread with wholemeal flour and I've never seen it. Wholemeal flour doesn't roll away gluten like white wheat flour, so I don't know if it's going to come out sorry. A hug and thank you for writing
Hi Lola,
Although in the recipe it does not indicate when to add the yeast, I understand that it is at first with the rest of the ingredients, right?
A greeting,
Hello Antonia,
Maybe you haven't seen it, but the second line of recipe preparation says:
Tuning the milk. Dissolve yeast crumbled in the milk with the help of your hands and mix well.
