[Filling]
Whipping cream at room temperature: 100g
Butter at room temperature: 50g
Caster sugar: 10g
Steps for Making the Noble Brioche:
1. Prepare the main ingredients. The given quantity can make 4 round breads.
2. Pour the dry yeast into the milk, stir to dissolve, and set aside.
3. Mix the high-gluten flour, caster sugar, and salt evenly and place them in a kneading bowl.
4. Pour in the yeast-milk mixture and eggs. Use a stand mixer or bread machine to stir evenly at low speed, then knead at medium-high speed until the dough reaches the expansion stage.
5. Since this bread has a large amount of butter, add the butter in two portions. Each time you add the butter, you must knead it evenly before adding the next portion. After adding all the butter, knead at medium-high speed until the dough reaches the complete stage.
6. Put the dough in a plastic bag, seal it well, and place it in the refrigerator to ferment overnight for 10 – 12 hours.
7. Take out the refrigerated and fermented dough, divide it into four equal parts. You can either roll it into a ball directly or put it in a mold. Let it undergo the final fermentation at a temperature of about 30°C.
8. After the fermentation is complete, brush the surface of the dough with egg liquid, put it into an oven preheated to 180°C for 10 minutes, and bake for 15 minutes. Remember to cover it with tin foil after baking for 10 minutes to prevent it from getting too dark.
9. After taking it out of the oven, place it on a cooling rack to cool. The crust of the freshly baked brioche is very crispy. It’s really delicious!
10. You can eat it directly, spread jam on it, or make it into a brioche with buttercream.
11. Use an electric mixer to whisk 100g of whipping cream at room temperature, 50g of butter at room temperature, and 10g of caster sugar into buttercream. Then add 25g of peach puree to make peach-flavored buttercream.
12. Cut the bread in half like a hamburger, fill it with buttercream, and use an 8-tooth star piping tip to pipe patterns on the bread (other piping tips are also acceptable).
