Try making brioche this way- it tastes great and the smell is heavenly.
The recipe is very much inspired from the one at latartinegourmande.com ,only I used slightly less butter and a little more egg.
- Ingredients:
- 250 g flour
- 65 g soft butter
- 4 small eggs
- 5,5 g dry yeast
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 80 ml milk
- a pinch of salt
- glace: 1 egg yolk
To do: mix flour, yeast, milk (not to cold, not to warm). Add sugar, salt and butter (piece by piece). Add the eggs. Work dough till it is elastic (at this point a breadbaking machine or a kitchen aid is very helpful). Leave for app. 2 hours or untill it has doubled its size. Work dough again for app. 10 min. Make buns out of the dough and place them in a mold. Let rise for another hour. Preheat oven at 200 C. Make little cuts in the dough with a pair og scissors an glace with the egg yolk with a little sugar in it. Bake at 200 C for 10 min and then for app 25 min at 180 C.
A little music to listen to while you work the dough :)
