Brioche Tressée so delicious!
Yield: 12 Servings
Ingredients:1 cup Milk2 Eggs1 teaspoon Salt½ cup sugar4 cups of All-purpose flour3 teaspoons active dry yeast½ cup butter (unsalted)1 egg (for glaze)~ CLICK TO READ DETAILS ~Instructions: By hand or mixer ( I use a KitchenAid stand mixer): In a large bowl, beat the eggs, milk, sugar and salt, then pour the flour and finally the yeast (best if it is fresh or diluted in a little bit of lukewarm milk but optional - the yeast does not need to be diluted to be activated). Knead for 7 minutes at slow speed then increase the speed for another 5-7 minutes. If you are kneading by hand, it will take you about 20 minutes of active kneading. Add the soft butter, cut into pieces, and knead for about 7 minutes in the stand mixer, until a soft and homogeneous dough is obtained. Stop kneading as soon as the butter is well incorporated, do not go any further or you risk of overheating the butter and then find yourself with a compact brioche. The dough should be very smooth, soft and elastic. If it is sticky or too soft, don’t worry, it is the consistency you are looking for! Do not add flour! The more sticky the dough is, the more the brioche will be melting in your mouth! Let dough rise for about 1 hour, covered with plastic wrap, at room temperature in a draft-free place (indoors).
