How to Make a Perfect No-Knead Brioche Dough Without Compromises

  • As of the time of writing it has been 3 years and 4 months since I started my UA-cam channel. For the first 3 years I was a big fan of pre-ferments, and I was really into hand-kneading dough. The whole time I was making videos using the principles that I showed and of course it all worked just fine.
    But then I started making my comparison series and discovering new (to me) techniques. One of them being long cold fermentation and the other being the no-knead method. Both of those techniques have changed my breadmaking style forever. I have not kneaded a single dough in 2023 so far and I have very rarely used a pre-ferment. I believe the kneading is a waste of time and energy when it comes to making small batches of dough at home.
    And this no-knead brioche recipe is proving my statement even further. See, the thing with brioche up until now (for me) is that it always required a mixer. It was the only dough recipe on my channel that I always used a mixer for and because of the high egg and butter content I never even considered that it could be made properly by hand kneading, and the no-knead method did not ever cross my mind.
    There were a couple attempts of me trying to make brioche by hand. It took an extreme amount of time and effort to get the dough together. So much that I would go back to using the mixer afterwards. Brioche had me beat once again. But that was a while ago.
    Since I have been exclusively using the no-knead method this year I thought it is time to try it on brioche dough. The thing with gluten is that it develops over time and not by mechanical action. The no-knead method relies on time for gluten development and on folding for gluten strength and tension. It is an extremely simple yet powerful principle that works every time.

      I just realized why you are always my goto source for doughs… As you stated, you “make it up as you go”… I learned from my maternal grandfather, who was a butcher and chef, to cook by feel, taste, and smell… Thus, I have a hard time following a recipe exactly, and therefore usually don’t follow a recipe at all… With doughs, I frame everything in relation to the rule of thumb for a baguette (72% hydration, 2% salt, yeast varies but usually 2%).. I figure as long as I am close, I should have a problem, rather it is up just how other liquid (egg yolks, oil, milk, butter) impact the dough… Thus, your videos have saved me a ton of trial and error attempts as you figure it out first and explain it the way I want to hear it (as impact, not some recipe to accomplish xyz)!

    Follow up-I did this loaf with a kiss of whole wheat. I subbed 100 g of starter for the yeast, and 50 g of whole wheat for 50 g of the bread flour. It took 6 hours to rise, but it came out great! Warning-when Charley says soft butter, make it soft. Otherwise, it’s a lot of work to incorporate it. My results were great. One of the most satisfying brioches ever. Great technique-a real game changer. I’m afraid of how much brioche I’m going to be eating in the future…😂

I've always enjoyed bread a lot, but haven't made any myself in the past becuse the recipies I found seemed to be very involved or have too many new things for me to learn to do at once. I recently used a few tequniques I learned from your channel to make my first non-flat bread with cold fermentation and folding and it came out great.

    As I commented on your cold fermentation video, the no knead method is also one of the strategies that I had to experiment and eventually adopt in baking lean and enriched breads. It's convenient for small batch baking and a busy schedule.
    My suggestion to make this recipe easier is keep the number of folds but to do them whenever is convenient. I.e. during the cold fermentation period, do the folds at regular (or irregular) intervals anywhere during the timeline making sure you give the dough time to relax.
    The dough will tell you if you go too far or not far enough.
    I've done a crazy number of experiments. I'd say, for a good 3 years of baking, every bake was different than the previous one. It challenging and fun. Many times, when you try to excel and you worry that you might be disappointed the bake turns out excellent.
    Enjoying every bit of your journey. 🙏👌🏻👏🏻

    This beautiful no-knead brioche is a masterpiece, both in terms of its beauty and in showing that we can always update and improve our techniques.
    Now, one of the breads I saw on your channel and that I'm most curious to make someday is the pumpkin bread, but I've never had the courage because it involved the use of sourdough, which didn't quite work out for me 😕
    So, taking advantage of this idea of updating old recipes in videos, I believe it would be interesting to have a dedicated video on pumpkin bread.

    Game changer, indeed!!! Creating a pancake-like batter just makes a lot of sense before finally adding in the rest of the flour. Even through a stand mixer, i had a hard time developing the dough's gluten even if i've added the butter last. By the time the dough's gluten is finally developed, my next challenge is to cool down the dough. 'Coz the machine has already warmed it up a bit by then. And if i wasn't lucky enough, i would've even ended up at 31°C by then which runs the risk of redering out all that butter i've painstakingly kneaded through.

    Ok, definitelly going to give it a shot. I was keen on trying to make brioche ever since i started making bread year ago, but all the extra steps of cooling and what not made me not want to even attempt, same was with puff pastry. But with "cake" technique it makes absolute sense. Baking, just like cooking in general, will always work, as long as you get to end result, no matter what technique you've used. If ingredients, ratios, time and consistency is same in the end - it will work.

    Your no-knead brioche with cold proofing is excellent. The other brioche recipe I use is also cold proofed. I noticed, though, that the rise after braiding wasn’t as good as yours. I baked anyway until temp was over 200 degrees F and loaf was delicious. Wish I could show you the picture of completed loaf!
