Ingredients
For the Brioche Dough
- Eggs (for dough and egg wash) – quantity as needed
- Milk – quantity as needed (for egg wash and dough)
For the Filling
- Raspberry filling – amount to swirl into dough as preferred
Other
- Aluminum foil (optional, for covering during baking)
Instructions
- Proof the dough: Cover the prepared brioche dough loaves with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise again in a warm place for about 30-45 minutes, or until they have puffed up, ensuring the dough is light and airy before baking.
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the brioche loaves evenly and thoroughly.
- Prepare egg wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash. This mixture will give the loaves a beautiful golden brown crust when baked.
- Apply egg wash: Brush the tops of the risen loaves gently and evenly with the egg wash to promote a shiny, golden exterior.
- Bake the loaves: Place the loaves in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Bake until the loaves are golden brown and produce a hollow sound when tapped on the bottom. If the tops brown too quickly, loosely cover them with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
- Cool the bread: Remove the loaves from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely, allowing the texture to set and the flavors to develop.
Notes
- Ensure the dough is sufficiently proofed to get a light and fluffy brioche texture.
- The raspberry filling can be homemade or store-bought; adjust the quantity based on your preference for sweetness and tartness.
- For a shinier crust, apply a second coat of egg wash halfway through baking if desired.
- Use aluminum foil to prevent over-browning if your oven runs hot or if the loaves brown too fast.
- Allow the brioche to cool completely before slicing to avoid a gummy texture inside.
