🍳 Preparation Steps
  1. 1

    Crumble the yeast into the warm milk (35°C). In the mixer bowl, mix the flour, sugar and salt. Make a well and add the eggs, crème fraîche, vanilla and the milk-yeast mixture. Knead 8-10 minutes at low speed until the dough comes away from the sides.

  2. 2

    Cover the bowl with a cloth and let rise 1h30 to 2h in a warm place (25-28°C) until the dough doubles in volume.

  3. 3

    Gently degas the dough and divide it into 12 equal parts. Shape regular balls and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  4. 4

    Cover with plastic wrap and let rise 45 minutes at room temperature.

  5. 5

    Preheat the oven to 180°C. Gently brush the brioches with the beaten egg. Bake 18-20 minutes until nicely golden.

  6. 6

    When out of the oven, cover with a cloth for 5 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar after cooling.

Tips & Tricks
  • Ingredients should be at room temperature for better rising
  • The dough should be soft but no longer sticky to the fingers after kneading
  • Never put yeast in direct contact with salt
  • Check doneness by tapping the bottom - it should sound hollow
  • Keeps for 3 days in an airtight container
  • Freezes excellently
  • Reheats 5 minutes in the oven at 150°C
