- 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
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.
