Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup heavy cream (at room temperature)
- 1 cup milk (plus 1 tablespoon, at room temperature; whole, 1%, or 2% milk)
- 1 large egg (at room temperature)
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 4 cups all-purpose flour (or 1/2 cup cake flour combined with 3 1/2 cups bread flour)
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast (or instant yeast)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 teaspoon water)
- Simple syrup (1 tablespoon sugar dissolved in 1 tablespoon hot water)
Instructions:
Preparing the Dough:
- Begin the enchantment by assembling heavy cream, milk, egg, sugar, cake flour, bread flour, yeast, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook.
- Initiate the mixing process on the “stir” setting, allowing the ingredients to intertwine for a glorious 15 minutes. Adjust the flour as needed until the dough gracefully pulls away from the sides.
Rising to Perfection: 3. Blanket the dough in anticipation, leaving it in a warm haven until it blooms, doubling in size over the course of 1-2 hours. Our preferred cocoon for this transformative process is a closed microwave, accompanied by a mug of steaming water.
Crafting the Vessels: 4. Meanwhile, prepare the stage for your brioche masterpiece by generously greasing baking vessels with a touch of butter. Options abound – choose between two standard loaf pans, two 9-inch round pans, or a harmonious marriage of both.
Refinement and Shaping: 5. After the dough has swelled with pride, reintroduce it to the mixer for an additional 5 minutes to banish any lingering air bubbles. Upon a lightly floured surface, delicately cut the dough and sculpt it into the chosen form – be it loaves, rolls, or a symphony of both.
A Symphony of Proofing: 6. Allow your creations to rest, covered, for an additional hour, letting the dough develop its unique character and flavor profile.
Baking Alchemy: 7. Position the stage (oven) in the center, preheating to 350°F/175°C. Gently brush the risen dough with the alchemical egg wash and let it dance in the oven for 23-25 minutes, or until it dons a golden robe of perfection.
Finishing Elegance: 8. As the heavenly aroma fills your kitchen, usher the golden wonders from the oven. Tenderly brush the warm bread with a concoction of sugar water, adding a touch of sweetness and a glistening finish that captivates the senses.
