Delightfully soft and buttery Milk Brioche, perfect for any occasion, with hidden nutritional benefits and delightful serving suggestions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups Bread Flour
- 1 cup Whole Milk
- 2 1/4 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast
- 1/4 cup Sugar
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
- 3 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the bread flour, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, activate the yeast by mixing it with warm milk and let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
- Combine the flour mixture with the yeast mixture and eggs. Mix until a rough dough forms.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Gradually incorporate the softened butter, kneading until fully incorporated and the dough is glossy and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough, divide it into pieces, and shape them into small balls. Arrange in a greased loaf pan.
- Cover the shaped dough and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes, while preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 190°F (88°C).
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, substitute almond milk and coconut oil. For gluten-free, use a gluten-free flour blend.
