Many get scared seeing sticky dough and add flour, but that produces hard, heavy brioches instead of soft ones. Another common mistake is adding all the butter at once or too cold, risking breaking the gluten network. To avoid this, we'll use gradual incorporation: work the flour with the liquids until the dough pulls away from the bowl (well kneaded), and only then add the butter in small pieces, like a cream. This lets the fats distribute without weighing down the flour. The result? A brioche that smells of good butter, with a flaky crumb and incredible lightness. Prepare leavened doughs calmly — it will be worth it!
