Preparation

Brioche dough

Make a dough using two-thirds of the flour, the sugar, milk, eggs and yeast

Leave the dough to rest in the mixing bowl for 30 minutes.

Add the rest of the flour with the salt and knead through.

Gradually add the soft butter and continue to knead until it has been completely absorbed and the dough starts to come away from the sides of the bowl.

After 10 minutes, process the dough into the desired shapes.

Leave to ferment for 90-100 minutes at 25°C / 70% humidity. Egg wash and sprinkle with the pearl sugar.
