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.
