[Recipe] French classic bread—Brioche

Brioche is a very popular type of bread in France, which is made from eggs and butter. Golden and crisp outside, super soft inside, it is always treated as dessert or pastry by the local French.


The key ingredients of the traditional Brioche are egg and butter. This kind of bread is pretty delicious with good mouth feeling. Romantic as the France is, its desserts are just like the country, characterized with romance and delicacy.

The usual technique employs overnight fermentation by chilling, which makes the dough very soft and sticky. However, the cold fermentation method can reduce viscosity and make the operation afterward much easier.



Today the recipe that we recommend uses Vienna yeast dough premix, which has better dough control, extremely good flavor and in-oven jump. And this needs no overnight ferment but can easily make the classic Brioche.
