Well, you can see that I have (too) many brioche recipes in my blog, and I can tell you that I still have more recipes to be added in the future, haha.
Some of the recipes are loaded with butter, that it's too hard to knead or shape with your hand!!! Or filled with orange and sugar to make it more delicious.
Today, the brioche that I will share the recipe with you is the Braided brioche.
Well, even you can shape and braid the dough, it doesn't mean that it has a small amount of butter.
Put the flour, sugar, and instant yeast into a bowl, whisk to combine.
Pour the water and egg into the bowl.
Remove the dough from the bowl.
Knead for 7-10 minutes.
Until the dough is smooth (you can make the windowpane test).
Put the butter into the dough.
Knead for 7-10 minutes more.
Place the dough into a bowl and cover with plastic.
Roll each piece into a rope. (one piece at a time)
Roll each dough into a 35 cm. rope.
Pinch the end of the ropes together.
Place (1) rope over the (2) rope.
Place (3) rope over the (4) rope.
Place (4) rope over the (1) rope.
Repeat until you reach the end of the dough.
Let it rises for 1 hour.
Brush the dough with egg wash.
As we refrigerate the dough before shaping, it makes the dough easier to deal with.
I made 4 braids bread in this post, you can see the step by step photo (or watch the video), it's not hard to do. After the first step just repeats the process, that's all.
This brioche is soft, rich, and not too sweet. You can eat it with jam (and more butter if you want, haha), or turn it into a delicious French toast too.
