MIDDLE-CLASS BRIOCHE



Middle-Class Brioche image

Yield makes 12 to 16 petites brioches à tête, 2 to 4 large brioches à tête, or two 1-pound loaves

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup (2.25 ounces) unbleached bread flour
2 teaspoons (.22 ounce) instant yeast
1/2 cup (4 ounces) whole milk, lukewarm (90° to 100°F)
5 large (8.25 ounces) eggs, slightly beaten
3 cups (13.75 ounces) unbleached bread flour
2 tablespoons (1 ounce) granulated sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons (.31 ounce) salt
1 cup (8 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 egg, whisked until frothy, for egg wash

Steps:

  • Proceed as described for Rich Man's Brioche, extending the fermentation for the sponge to 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Middle-Class Brioche, made with a 50 percent butter to flour ratio, is a very versatile dough, perfect for cinnamon or sticky buns, soft loaves, and brioche à tête. It is the most common form of brioche because it costs less than Rich Man's Brioche and requires less gymnasium time to work off the butter (though 50 percent fat to flour is still workout worthy!). It is also easier to handle than the richer version.

This brioche recipe by Raymond Calvel, a French baker and the author of "The Taste of Bread," is a favorite of Melissa Yanc, the winner of Food Network's "Holiday Baking Championship." "Raymond Calvel is a forefather of bread baking," said Melissa Yanc. "I use his book for reference all the time and it's great in-depth reading material for an experienced baker." Here, Melissa Yanc shares how she makes Calvel's beautiful brioche recipe.

Yield 3 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 10

5.5 ounces (1 1/4 cups) all-purpose flour
0.8 ounces (2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons) active dry yeast
3.3 ounces (1/3 cup) whole milk, at room temperature
6 large eggs
2.6 ounces (1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons) sugar
0.5 ounce (2 1/2 teaspoons) kosher salt
16.5 ounces (3 3/4 cups) all-purpose flour
10 ounces (20 tablespoons/2 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus melted butter for the bowl and pan
2 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons heavy cream

Steps:

  • For the sponge: Put the flour, yeast and milk in a medium bowl and mix with your hands until smooth and well combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp towel and allow to rest at room temperature for about 12 hours.
  • For the dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the eggs, sugar, salt, flour and the sponge and mix on medium speed until a smooth dough forms, about 2 minutes. The dough should spring back to the touch of your finger.
  • With the mixer on medium speed, add the butter, 2 tablespoons at a time, allowing it to be incorporated after each addition. Continue beating until the dough is smooth (and to allow the gluten to develop), about 10 minutes. The dough will be very dense.
  • Lightly coat a large bowl with melted butter. Add the dough to the prepared bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel and allow to rest for about 1 hour at room temperature. (This helps promote the formation of air pockets during baking.)
  • While the dough is proofing, brush three 9-by-5-inch loaf pans generously with melted butter.
  • Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface. Divide into three 1-pound pieces. Gently press each piece of dough into a rectangle that's slightly smaller than a loaf pan, with the shorter end facing you. Pick up the top two corners of dough and bring them to the center, stretching the dough slightly as needed for the corners to meet. Roll this folded end over the dough to form a loaf shape.
  • Gently but quickly pick up the shaped dough and place it seam-side down in the prepared loaf pans.
  • Cover the pans with a damp towel and allow the dough to rise in a warm place until it fills the pan and reaches about 1 1/2 inches above the rim, about 1 hour.
  • For baking: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Whisk the yolks and cream together for the egg wash, then brush evenly over the dough.
  • Bake until the loaves are a deep brown on top and the center reaches 180 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes on a wire rack, then remove the loaf from the pan and cool completely, top side up.

  • 1. In a small bowl, combine yeast with warm water or milk and stir to dissolve. Let sit until a few bubbles form on top. (If bubbles do not start, the yeast may be dead; start again.)
  • 2. Sift flour onto a clean work surface. Make a large well in the middle of the sifted flour pile. Pile the salt and sugar off to the side. Crack eggs into the flour in the center of the well. Add yeast-water mixture to eggs and mix together with your fingertips, gradually drawing in flour, salt, and sugar to form a soft, lumpy dough. If the dough seems dry, beat another egg in a small mixing bowl and gradually add beaten egg to brioche dough until the dough feels moist. Alternatively, mix the dough in a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment
  • 3. Knead the dough by hand by stretching, folding, and slapping the dough against a clean work surface until soft and uniformly textured. Alternatively, knead the dough in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment on medium speed, about 10 minutes. Grease a large bowl. Transfer brioche dough to a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place for 1–2 hours.
  • 4. On a clean work surface, use a rolling pin to flatten cold butter into a patty. Fold the butter patty in half, then continue flattening and folding until soft and workable. Transfer the risen dough to the work surface, then work the butter into the dough. Lift dough from the work surface and pass it back and forth between your hands, squeezing until butter is fully incorporated, 3–5 minutes. Knead the dough again for 1 minute. Alternatively, use a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment to incorporate the butter. Cut the cold butter into 1-inch pieces. Transfer the dough to the mixing bowl and add butter, one piece at a time, with the mixer on medium speed. Wait until each piece of butter is fully incorporated before adding the next, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. It will take about 30 minutes to work in all the butter using the stand mixer. Continue kneading on medium speed until the dough looks shiny, about 5 more minutes.
