Brioche Tips

  • Butter must be soft but cool - not melted
  • Add butter gradually after dough is developed
  • Mix until dough pulls away from bowl cleanly
  • Overnight refrigerator rise develops best flavor
  • Shape while dough is cold for easier handling
  • Double egg wash for deep golden color
