Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 360 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 5 grams Salt
- 7 grams Instant yeast
- 120 ml Whole milk
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 180 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
- 150 grams Raspberry preserves
- 1 piece Egg (for egg wash)
- 15 ml Water (for egg wash)
- 20 grams Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Mix briefly to combine.
In a small saucepan, gently heat the milk until lukewarm (around 37°C/98°F). Add the warm milk and eggs to the dry ingredients.
Mix the dough on low speed until it comes together, about 2-3 minutes.
Increase the mixer speed to medium and gradually add the softened butter, one tablespoon at a time, allowing each piece to incorporate fully before adding the next. This process will take 6-8 minutes.
Continue kneading until the dough is smooth, silky, and slightly sticky, about 3 more minutes.
Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise at room temperature for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the risen dough to release excess air. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
Roll the dough into a large rectangle, roughly 30x40 cm. Spread the raspberry preserves evenly over the surface, leaving a 2 cm border around the edges.
Carefully roll up the dough from one long edge to the other to form a tight log. Pinch the seam to seal and tuck in the ends.
Cut the log into 8 equal pieces and arrange them cut-side up in a greased 23 cm round baking pan, leaving some space between each piece.
Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let it rise for another 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the brioche pieces are puffy and touching each other.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Lightly brush the tops of the brioche with the egg wash.
Bake the brioche in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and the centers are cooked through.
Allow the brioche to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar. Serve warm or at room temperature.
