Morning Brioche, as the title suggests, this recipe is perfect for breakfast. They are soft and delicious clouds, a truly simple leavened dough that remains soft and delightful with every bite. For your personal explosion of flavor, you can fill them as you prefer; in my case, I opted for the legendary Nutella, but you can really add whatever you like, such as pistachio cream, custard, and milk cream. I won’t elaborate further; I’ll let you read and save the recipe, and if you haven’t already, subscribe to my Facebook and Instagram channels.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups Manitoba flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2/3 cup milk (+ extra for brushing)
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 1/4 tsp dry yeast
  • 7 tbsp butter
  • 2 tsp salt
  • as needed orange zest (3)
  • as needed vanilla aroma
  • as needed Nutella®
  • as needed sugar sprinkles

Steps

  • In the bowl of the stand mixer, pour the flour, yeast, and sugar. Add the grated zest and vanilla. In a jug, mix milk and eggs, and start pouring them into the mixer bowl, mixing with the dough hook.

  • Knead everything for 5 minutes. At this point, incorporate the butter cut into pieces a little at a time. Knead until you get a smooth, elastic, and well-worked dough.

    add the butter
  • At the end, take the dough and cover it with plastic wrap inside a bowl. (I use a shower cap). Let it rise for at least 2 hours.

  • After the resting time, divide the dough into 8 pieces of about 12 g each. Transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, place in the turned-off oven, and let rise again until they are well puffed.

  • Brush the surface with milk and egg and decorate with sugar sprinkles.

  • Bake in a static oven at 340°F for 20 minutes. Once cooled, make a small cut in the center with scissors and fill with whatever you prefer using a piping bag.
