Brioche au sucre

Now that I found out that doing my own bread without a bread maker is possible, I am trying everything I can…

Here is the recipe for a “Brioche au sucre”, a big favorite for the 4pm French snack when you are a kid! The recipe is found again on the back of the flour packet (French brand Francine).

You’ll need:

350 g bread flour

175 ml

14 g dried yeast

1 teaspoon of salt

2 tablespoon of sugar

1 egg

100 g soft butter

30 g pearl sugar

In a large bowl, mix the sugar, the salt and the flour. Make a large well in the middle and add the dried yeast, the butter, the egg and the lukewarm milk.

Start to mix the preparation with a wooden spoon. Once the mixture is combined, knead the paste for 5-8 minutes until it is fully incorporated and it becomes elastic.

Put back in the bowl, cover with a humid towel and allow resting for 30 minutes in a warm room.

Remove the dough from the bowl and punch it few times to knock the air out. Shape into 10 small round breads, put them all together in a cake pan and sprinkle the top with the pearl sugar (lots of pearl sugar!!).

Allow to rest again for an hour in a warm room.

Pre-heat the oven to 180 C. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the bread is golden crisp. Remove the bread from the cake pan and leave it on a cooling rack for 1 hour. Then just eat it ;)

Panini Time

Long time no see!
