Ingredients for Brioche Bread: Catherine high-gluten flour 400g, eggs 2, egg yolks 2, heavy cream 60g, water 100g, salt 6g, sugar 50g, fresh yeast 12g, butter 80g, egg wash (for brushing the surface) 1 tablespoon. [Filling] Cream cheese 200g, condensed milk 40g, golden passion fruit 2.
Method: Step 1: Combine all dough ingredients except butter and salt in a mixing bowl. Start with a 2nd gear for 2 minutes to eliminate dry flour, then switch to 6th gear for approximately 5 minutes. Add butter and salt, then switch back to 2nd gear until the butter is fully absorbed by the dough. Finally, turn to 6th gear and continue kneading for 6 more minutes to achieve a gluten membrane.
Step 2: Round the dough and cover with plastic wrap. Place in an oven with a proofing setting at 28 degrees Celsius for about 1 hour until doubled in size. Step 3: Heat cream cheese in the microwave for 30 seconds, add condensed milk and mix until smooth. Stir in passion fruit (seeds can be left in or removed as desired), then transfer to a piping bag and refrigerate for later use. Step 4: After fermentation, degas the dough and divide it evenly into 12 portions. Round each portion and let them relax for 15 minutes. Step 5: Take a portion of dough, roll it out to about 13-15 cm in diameter, place it into an eight-point star-shaped mold, press the dough evenly against the mold with your fingers, and let it proof in the oven at 36 degrees Celsius for about 40 minutes. Step 6: Pipe passion fruit cheese filling in the middle, and brush the surface of the dough with egg wash. Step 7: Preheat the oven to an upper heat of 170 degrees Celsius and a lower heat of 190 degrees Celsius. Bake for about 20 minutes, cover with aluminum foil when the color is satisfactory. Step 8: After baking, decorate with berries and fragrant wood for an aesthetically pleasing finish. Cooking Tips for Brioche Bread: 1. Different brands of flour have varying water absorption rates. Do not add all the liquid at once; always reserve 20g of liquid to prevent the dough from being too wet. 2. The oven temperature and time in the recipe are for reference only. Every oven is different, so please adjust according to your own oven’s temperature. There are tricks to making delicious dishes, and each of my recipes has its own little secret.
