Cloud-Soft Brioche Buns: the easy recipe to try now…
Cloud-Soft Brioche Buns of yeast dough easy to make either with the planetary or by hand that after baking you can also fill with whatever you want. I like to make brioches at home, it is one of the first leavened dough recipes I learned and it is versatile because with one dough you can make doughnuts, doughnuts, brioche cakes and so many other delights. We usually have these brioche clouds for breakfast but I always make a few more because they are perfect for snack time as well.
Ingredients for 15-17 Pieces
For the Dough:
- 250g (2 cups) all-purpose flour
- 250g (2 cups) strong bread flour
- 1 whole egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 180ml (3/4 cup) milk, lukewarm
- 100g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar
- 120g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 10g (1/3 oz) fresh yeast OR 5g (1 1/2 teaspoons) active dry yeast
For Finishing:
- 1 egg
- 40ml (2 3/4 tablespoons) milk
How to make Cloud-Soft Brioche Buns:
Let’s put inside the planetary mixer (you can make the dough by hand by kneading in the bowl 5-10 minutes longer ) the sifted flour, eggs, crumbled yeast, sugar and start kneading with the leaf.
When the ingredients have gathered well inside the bowl we remove the leaf and put the hook, add the cream butter a little at a time and the vanilla mixing for 3-4 minutes.
We cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rise 2 hours. Rising times vary from 2 to 4 hours depending on the temperature we have in the house.
Once doubled in size we can proceed.
Let’s form 50-80 g balls depending on the size we want to obtain, place them in a baking pan spaced 4-5 cm apart ( with this dose we will get about 17-20 balls but this also depends on the size).
Cover them with foil, let them rise for 30 minutes, brush them with egg and milk beaten together and bake at 180°C (350°F) static for about 20 minutes or ventilated 170°C (340°F) for 20 min. The surface should be nice and golden.
Once ready let them cool completely then fill them or eat them as they are.
Bon Appétit!
