Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients
  • 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup warm milk Milk should be warm, not hot to activate yeast.
  • 2 large eggs

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Stir gently to mix everything well.
  2. Pour in the warm milk and add the eggs. Mix until a dough begins to form.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface until it becomes smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1-2 hours.
Baking
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Once the dough has risen, shape it into your desired forms—rolls, loaves, or knots—then place them in a greased baking dish.
  3. Let the shaped dough rise again for about 30 minutes.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
  5. Allow the brioche to cool before serving to enhance the flavor and texture.

Notes

Milk brioche can be served plain, spread with butter, with jam or honey, or used for sandwiches. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to a month. Knead well for a light and airy texture and consider adding flavorings like vanilla or lemon zest.
