Sweet Brioche
Makes: 8
¼ cup luke-warm milk
2 teaspoons (7g sachet) dry yeast
¼ cup caster sugar
2 ¼ cups plain flour,
1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Pinch salt
3 eggs
125g butter, room temperature, cut into cubes
Approximately ¹/³ cup plain flour, extra
½ cup sultanas
1 egg yolk, lightly whisked
1 tablespoon caster sugar, extra
1. Combine the milk, yeast and ½ teaspoon of the sugar in a small bowl. Set
aside in a warm place for about 10 minutes or until frothy.
2. Place remaining sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt in the Stainless Steel Mi-
xing Bowl. Add yeast mixture and eggs.
3. Using the Dough Hook, knead on low speed (2) for about 1 minute or until
combined. Continue kneading for a further 5 minutes.
4. Add 2-3 pieces of butter to dough mixture and continue kneading, adding
a little butter at a time until well incorporated. If dough begins to lose its
"ball" shape, add as much of the extra flour as necessary to keep it com-
bined. Knead in the sultanas. This step should take a total of 4 minutes.
5. Remove dough from bowl; wash and dry bowl, then return dough to
bowl. Cover; set aside in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 hour or
until doubled in size. Preheat oven to moderately hot (200°C/180°C fan-
forced). Line 2 oven trays with baking paper.
6. Plunge your fist into the dough and using the Dough Hook, knead again on
low speed (2) for 1 minute or until smooth.
7. Divide dough into 8 even portions. Work each dough portion into a smooth
ball and place on prepared trays. Set aside in a warm, draft-free place for
30 minutes.
8. Brush each brioche with extra egg yolk and sprinkle with extra sugar. Bake
for 15 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
