Ingredients
- Here are the proportions I used to make a small brioche in a 20 cm cake tin:
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 egg
- 50 ml water
- 1 tbsp baker's yeast
- 1 tbsp orange blossom water
- 100 g powdered milk
- 40 g sugar
- 250 g flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- zest of one lemon, grated
Add a little water if the dough is too dry during kneading or a little flour if it is too liquid to obtain a soft and supple dough.
Place all ingredients in the bread machine bowl in the order above.
Start program 7: dough only (duration 1h 30, kneading and rising only).
At the end of the program, remove the dough from the bowl and place it on a floured work surface.
Divide it into 3 large parts and one small or two small ones as you wish.
The brioche is made of a braid for the outside and a small ball in the center.
Shape a braid with the 3 equal parts, which you place in a cake tin covered with parchment paper.
Then place the small ball in the center.
Cover with a clean cloth and let rise for at least one hour.
Then bake in a hot oven (preheated to 180°c) for about 25 minutes.
When removed from the oven, let it cool, turn out of the tin and generously sprinkle with icing sugar.
Its little hint of lemon is irresistible!! and I won't even mention the aroma that fills the kitchen during cooking, hummm a treat!!
