Add a photoI love these! Brioche is a soft and fragrant buttery bread. It is a bit like a sweet bread but a bit more interesting and yummy. Very popular in Italy for breakfast combined with a fluffy cappuccino.
Homemade are just heaven and they keep soft for a few days.
Ingredients
- 250 g cornflour
- 300 g finely milled flour like "00"
- 3 eggs
- 70 g sugar
- 60 g butter
- 1 cube of fresh yeast (25 g) or a packet of dried yeast
- 1 tbsp orange essence
- a pinch of salt
- milk if needed
- brown sugar
Directions
- In a bowl melt the yeast with a little bit of tepid water. Add the cornflour, the flour, eggs, melted butter, white sugar, orange essence and salt.
- Stir all the ingredients in. Add some milk (at room temperature) only if the mixture is too dry.
- Now take the dough out of the bowl and work it energetically with your hands for 10 minutes, if it is too sticky add a little bit of extra flour.
- Put it back in the bowl and let it rest for 2 hours covered with a cloth in a warm place.
- It should double in size.
- Dust your working top with some flour and work the dough for another 10 minutes.
- Now shape it like a croissant and to do that you need to flatten the pastry with a rolling pin and with a knife cut some long triangles which you will roll inwards beginning from the base.
- Lay the pastries on a baking tray on a sheet of baking paper, cover them up with a cloth and let them rest for another 2 hours. They will again double in size.
- Beat an egg and with a spatula, gently spread it on the brioches and sprinkle some brown sugar on top.
- Cook in a hot oven at 180C for about 15 minutes until they are a nice brown colour. Please keep an eye on them because they colour very quickly!
- Enjoy!
