MILK BRIOCHE – Best Fluffy like cloud and super soft

🥣 Instructions

1️⃣ Activate the Yeast

  1. Warm milk to ~110°F / 43°C.
  2. Stir in sugar and yeast, let sit 5–10 minutes until foamy.

2️⃣ Make the Dough

  1. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt.
  2. Add yeast mixture, eggs, and vanilla. Mix until dough forms.
  3. Gradually knead in butter until smooth and elastic (~10 minutes by hand or 6 minutes in a stand mixer).

3️⃣ First Rise

  • Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise 1–2 hours, until doubled in size.

4️⃣ Shape the Brioche

  1. Punch down dough gently.
  2. Shape into a loaf or divide into rolls.
  3. Place in a greased loaf pan or on a baking tray.

5️⃣ Second Rise

  • Cover and let rise 45–60 minutes, until puffy.

6️⃣ Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F / 175°C.
  2. Brush top with beaten egg for a glossy finish.
  3. Bake 25–30 minutes (loaf) or 15–20 minutes (rolls), until golden brown.
  4. Cool on a wire rack before slicing.

💡 Tips

  • Use room-temperature butter and eggs for better texture.
  • For extra soft brioche, add 1–2 tbsp milk if dough feels dry.
  • Let it cool completely before slicing to prevent tearing.
  • Can be stored in an airtight container for 2–3 days or frozen for longer storage.
