Long time since last update.
A friend leaving the office (we have plenty of those at the moment), reminded me that I should post more often…
This is a very very very nice way to make Brioche bread. My sister in law gave me the recipe.
Ingredients :
- 500g Flour (I use bread flour / Strong white)
- A pinch of Salt, or 1/16th of a teaspoon…if you can measure that!
- 1 Full egg and 1 Yolk
- 50g of sugar
- 10cl (or 100ml) of warm milk
- Dry yeast for the flour quantity (probably 5 to 7g)
- 250g of Mascarpone cheese.
How to Make it :
- Mix on slow speed, all the ingredients in the Kenwood or your favourite Kitchen Aid. I leave the machine on minimum speed for 10 minutes. It creates a smooth dough.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place. I put the oven on “40 degrees Celsius” and leave it to rise for 1 hour. Because I let it rise in the oven, I do not “cover it” with cling film. If you let it rise in a place where there is some sort of draft, you probably better cover with cling film. Just seen the movie “drowning in plastic” trying to do my part…
- Take the dough out of the bowl and put on a lightly floured worktop. Punch the gas out of the dough and make 3 balls of similar size.
- Roll the dough “under itself” to make nice round balls.
- Put into a buttered and floured cake recipient.
- Let it rise again. Maybe 45 minutes, but be careful if you forget it, it will rise above the rim of the recipient !…
- Just before putting in the oven, cover the dough with a little bit of egg and milk mixed together and cover the top with large pieces of sugar. (The sugar is optional but it makes the final product nice to look at).
- Put into a pre-heated oven at 180 degrees celsius. Cook for 25/30 minutes until nice and brown.
If you take out of the mould too quickly it might crush on itself but it won’t affect the taste !
All the family love this one.
