Equipment

  • Large mixing bowls
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Rolling pin
  • Baking sheet or loaf pan
  • Clean kitchen towel

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup warm milk
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons yeast active dry
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Whisk until evenly mixed. These ingredients form the base of your brioche dough. Pro tip: Use a sifter for smooth, clump-free flour.
  • In another bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy. This step ensures your dough rises properly. Make sure the milk isn’t too hot—lukewarm is key.
  • Add eggs, melted butter, and yeast mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until a sticky dough forms. The dough will feel soft and slightly tacky. Don’t worry; it will firm up during kneading.
  • Knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes. The dough should become smooth and elastic. You’ll notice it transform under your hands. Pro tip: Use a stand mixer with a dough hook if you’re short on time.
  • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise. It should double in size within 1-2 hours. Patience pays off here; don’t rush the process.
