This is a GREAT recipe and is easily scalable into larger batches. I have put my own "twist" on this braided loaf by taking the four portions of fermented/chilled dough and rolling them out into 18x12 rectangles and spreading those with bake-stable jam (not ordinary jam which is too liquid and sugary) or ganache, then tightly rolling them up into the cylinders for braiding. I pop the four cylinders back into the fridge for about 10 minutes to firm them up again before braiding. The result is a babka-like brioche . . . the buttery bread looks amazing when sliced because the filling surprise, unlike a traditional babka, is not revealed until then. I sometimes top with sesame seeds after the egg wash before popping into the oven.
Excellent bread but I found that I had to add 30 to 40 grams of flour for the dough to come together (and a lot of scraping down of the sides of the mixing bowl). Instead I used the paddle attachment for the first part of mixing then after the dough came together and after the butter was added, I switched to the dough hook and finished mixing. Worked like a charm👍. I hope this helps anyone who has come across this problem.
Just finished making this. Now the hardest part, waiting for it to cool down. I honestly thought the braiding would be the hardest part, but came out looking real good. Big shout-out to my man Bri!
As a french baking enthusiast, good job! Im making mine with salted butter it's even better ;) Also, little tip for the shaping, start the braid in the middle! Gives a cleaner look
Great timing on this as we had already planned a cookout this weekend and I needed buns. Terrific results as always. My four-year-old assistant baker very pointedly reminded me that "Chef Brian said to add the butter ONE PIECE AT A TIME." He has become a little martinet about your recipes and is convinced that if we don't follow them to the letter then "he won't let us watch his videos anymore."
Thanks for the laugh. That will probably be bouncing around in my head the next time I make one of Brian's recipes - if I don't get it right he won't let me watch his videos anymore. Actually my favorite thing about Brian is he shows us his own mistakes - makes it okay to screw up.
I utterly love those moments when life reminds us that little children imitate adults, and what adults around little children mostly do is to be know absolutely everything better.
I just discovered brioche and as a result my bread consumption has skyrocketed! I like the walkthrough of the various stages of dough mixing as I don’t have an intuitive sense of when I’ve mixed too long or too short when trying out dough recipes (but I’m getting better!)
Nitpicking alarm! Brioche is borderline between bread and cake. That "let them eat cake" line often (falsely) attributed to Marie Antoinette? In the French original, it's _"qu'il mangeant brioche"_ .
I love that Mr. Lagerstrom just brought a table to the park. Also, love me some brioche so this may have to be the next of his recipes I make! Keep up the awesome content.
Trust me dear viewer if you read this comment, you absolutely have to taste this type of brioche once in your lifetime. This is just heaven. You can add chocolate chips or crystal sugar in the paste or you can just eat the original brioche with anything you want, from jam to Nutella or honey. It complements perfectly a good tea or coffee in the morning.
Thank you. First time doing brioche, was great with Christmas dinner. Also did your seared scallops, prime rib, creamy soup base - potato, and brussel sprouts in mounted butter.
@@sinanefe6693 I will give you the complete recipe of my bakery 1kg of flour 20 salt 130 sugar 40 yeast 60cl of egg 400 butter Don't worry if you won't pass the first time its took me 3 tries and some tips from my learning master
I literally just searched for a brioche recipe on your channel yesterday and couldn't believe you hadn't made a video on it yet. You read my mind! Can't wait to try this!
If u live in India ; have made tons and tons of brioche, and the best butter I would recommend is President cultured unsalted butter. Nothing compares to it.
Thank you for taking me through a baking journey I never thought I'd travel. I'm not amazing, but I've learned so much from you in the past year. This is coming from someone who's been in the restaurant industry for over 10 years. Cheers brother, looking forward to making some amazing brioche buns.
Was kind of afraid of trying brioche again since my last attempt resulted in brioche rocks but followed this recipe (added a little bit of water because it was just *too* dry to come together) and they came out very soft and tender. Thanks!
Bread baking is the love of my life and this is a lovely lady - can't wait to try her out. I might try to brush with just a yolk though to get a darker glossier top because, like you, I like that crust super dark.
I found that the brioche was a bit dense so I upped the water from 100g to 150g and swapped it for milk. Much fluffier! You need to give it a really good spin in the kitchen aid though to build a lot of gluten. Beautiful recipe @brian - thank you!
Currently, like RIGHT NOW, making the potato buns from the thick burger episode and already made the burger sauce from the smash burger episode from some burgers tonight and was taking a break while waiting for the bun dough to rise for 90 minutes and decided to check UA-cam, only to find a new video! Since it was early I figured I'd have a chance to tell you how fantastic your videos are. There are a ton of cooking videos like this on UA-cam obviously, but I can't think of any that are as informative as yours and as entertaining while also not being the typical over the top beyond annoying UA-camr type of personality. I'm sure you know what I mean... Thanks a ton for the great content and here's hoping you gain a ton more followers.
I've made this twice this weekend. I was afraid the first attempt wasn't going to be good because the dough didn't come together well. It was a half batch too. I tossed it into the fridge and hoped it wold work out anyhow. Yesterday I made a full batch. It turns out that I just didn't mix the first batch long enough. It took a LONG time for the dough to build strength when running the stand mixer on the "2" setting that is the recommended max for the Kitchenaide. It eventually pulled together then rose well. I baked the first batch up yesterday and it turned out really well. The second batch was baked today and they are amazing. Thank you! I was curious though why this recipe does not include milk. All the other recipes I found used milk or powdered milk.
I lucked out 11 years ago and produced several loaves of braded brioche...... then it all went down hill. After my initial success, I couldn't get a brioche to rise anymore. After watching this video it made all clear why it didn't rise! I was in Hawaii at the time so the kitchen temperature wasn't an issue, it was the technique. Since then I was afraid to waist the money attempt it further. Now, it looks like time to try again. Thanks for a great lesson!!
Thanks, Brian, for this demonstration. I've been staying away from making brioche since the last time when I tried making it by hand. It took what seemed like forever. With you and your demo as inspiration I will try it again but not by hand. I missed your little dance this time.
This looks amazing! You did such a good job!!! I’m a professional baker but have never braided before but this seems so doable because of your video now. Thank you!
Is it possible the water, grams to cups is a bit off? I did water in cups and there was no way that thing was coming together. 1/4 more and I got the results in the video.
Hi! First I really appreciate your work, it's great to learn from you. Your brioche lacks the "filante" texture we love in france, however it looks great. Concerning the brioche tressée I only have 3 doughs, it's easier to shape than 4. You can add on the little buns fragmented sugar, very appealing with children.
Absolutely love how after seeing the baguette and ciabatta videos I was thinking “does he have a brioche one” and yes, you do! Just the best channel this :)
Looiks amazing. I have been making brioche burger buns for a couple weeks now to put my smash burgers on. Oh man the difference in my homemade to store bought is very noticable.
Sup Bri. Thx for posting this. Started this tonight but I reserved ~100g of the flour and the butter incorporated a lot faster. Can't wait to bake this EDIT: One of the best tasting enriched dough recipe I've made so far. This is a keeper. Great job. Thanks again!
Both times I’ve made this, the yeast has basically given out by the time of the rising step after braiding. Could it be due to fridge temp being too low for too long (40 F)? The second time, I let it sit for like 6 hours just to make sure it wasn’t a temp thing and… nothing. Second time could’ve been a fluke because I had to let it sit for a few minutes after adding the salt and sugar to the yeast water so the salt could’ve killed it, but any advice as to why it won’t rise would be appreciated. My yeast has worked in other things recently
I remember a Brioche stand at the Newark, New Jersey train station (the other Penn station, I think). The made a Brioche bread pudding. That was a very memorable food experience.
Hi Brian, LOVE your videos. I've made your croissant and ciabatta recipes and they turned out fantastic. Not so much on this one though. I tried the bun version of this brioche recipe. They ended up being very dense and not soft in the middle at all. The texture/flavor was kind of like a croissant and biscuit combined. Tasty, but not at all what I was looking for. The buns also seemed kind of dry which was odd considering all of the butter in them. I fermented the dough in the fridge for 24 hours and then shaped and proofed the buns for 3.25 hours at room temp. I did notice they didn't seem to rise very much after proofing and they didn't rise a whole lot in the oven either. Where do you think I went wrong on this recipe?
i have been searching for a brioche recipe with a small amount of eggs and i liked this video but your comment makes me think this recipe needs milk instead of water. not sure if the ratios would be different then but milk seems like a must for a moist fluff.
It actually sounds like maybe they were over-proofed. If your kitchen, or wherever you proofed them, was just a bit too warm, this might've been a problem, despite the amount of butter. Also, if the flavor was off but not rancid, more like a different flavor profile, then I would check to see if your butter choice is actually REAL butter and not something adulterated. I'm saying this because I remember one of my sons being surprised that different salts have additives, such as table salt containing anti-caking agents so it doesn't clog the holes in salt shakers. Reading ingredient labels can be an eye-opening experience if you're not used to it. I hope this helps.
Thanks for your videos, I have tried many recipes! Your videos are the best and I binged watched too many. A question you might not want to answer, but here it goes: any chance you discuss when and how it is possible to substitute some ingredients with healthier ones? Like here, whether Olivio or other bitter substitute can work? Some of us need to watch it. Thanks
it seems you have an hydration of well below 50% (100g water +120 of eggs on 460g of flour = 47% ) is the brioche light and fluffy?how is it possible? the consistency doesn't seem right. it looks a perfect dough to laminate with a butter slab and craft some croissaints, that for sure, but it doesn't look like it will yeald soft and fluffy brioche buns
I'm gonna attempt to do this by hand..... It's gonna require alotta patience but I don't have a stand mixer. Plus after watching all your videos about bread I'm pretty confident in my dough handling skills. Wish me luck
Hey Brian my name is Maribel I have made and tried all your recipes and they all came out perfect BUT I HAVE TRY TO make THE BRIOCHE BREAD twice the first one it looked perfect and delicious but when we cut it it was uncooked yesterday I made the dough again and I just finish braiding should I bake it for longer how long more do you think I should leave in the oven
Thanks for all the vids, I'm finally able to make some tasty yeasty creations... anyway... Can you advise why some of the vids use a simple cover like the metal one in this video versus using plastic wrap such as the rustic bread recipes? Thanks!
Omg! Thank you! I have yet to master brioche. The buttery, sweet, SUPER soft kind. Uhh, my favorite bread. I don’t have a stand mixer so I hand kneed. I might have to wait until I can afford one.
Hey Brian, you allways make very good entertaining and learning video i really appreciate to atch ur videoes, do u think it is possible to make a 50/50 brioche. 50 percent butter 50 percent flour ?, keep up the good work and have a nice day,
I have made Hokkaido loaf bread with considerable butter and we love it. This is a ton of butter here! I'll have to try it! Brian you are using higher protein AP how does it compare to usual 13% or so bread flour?
Bread of all forms is finally making a comeback. Not that it's ever left but you couldn't admit to your bread love publicly without fear of carb shaming.
This recipe looks so good, you're going to make me get a stand mixer. I am not sure you appreciate just how valuable counter space is for us apartment dwellers!
Hello! I made the recipie and the brioche was spectacular. Follow every step and measure everything. I only had one problem: i took me more than 35 min in the kitchenaid to have the same dough you show in the video... I am using '000' flour, the one and only flour we have avaiable for bread were i am. What do you think? Any advice? Thanks!!
If you have a bigger kitchen aid mixer than this one, this comment is for you. Once you’ve partially mixed the dough and are starting to add the butter, switch over to the paddle attachment. It will mix a lot more efficiently as well as faster. Then once the dough becomes semi mixed with the butter and is starting to form larger chunks, switch back over to the dough hook to finish. This saves a solid 5-10 minutes of mixing time
I can assure you my first attempt at the braiding will not look like that. Another great video. I am very happy you have decided to drop two videos a week!
I am at the pre-butter stage and cannot get my dough to come together. It is very dry and looks like it needs moisture to form. Not sure where I went wrong or how I can amend for 2nd attempt. Advice?
Yes!! Thank you so much for the recipe, Bri.. I cant wait to try to make it this weekend. You always make awesome videos and easy to follow. You are the Best!!!
Hi, I want to know why the brioche proofs unevenly in the pan and loses the braiding shape😢it ends up looking weird and some braids gets too big and others almost get squished by them…any insight? Thank you
I love your videos, in particular your sourdough video has completely changed my life and how I eat/view bread. This one though is quite tough to do. Once the dough got to the "slapping the sides/in a ball" stage I went a full 10 minutes, but it still tore. Kept going and it never ended up getting stretchy. Also it never ended up really rising. For this recipe I think bread flour should probably be used, considering the challenge to form gluten with such a fatty dough. It's in the fridge now, so I'll see what happens, but it doesn't appear it will turn out well. Anyone else have this issue?
To update, the final proof after braiding DID rise, the loaf came out looking gorgeous, but is quite a dense bread. Tastes more like a very rich biscuit honestly. Not bad tasting at all, just not so "bready" as in the video. Still not sure what went wrong.
Ok I have a question for you I really, really need to know how is "leidenheimers bread" are made for Po-boy, they are soft and yet has a good amount of "Chew" and it holds by God that it holds sauces and gravies. Please be kind enough to explain and make one of these breads. Love your Vids and thank you for sharing
My bread consumption has risen roughly 500% since I started watching your videos.
I was nearly bread sober 🙄
Those are rookie numbers
Haha I was on a pretty good hiatus before making vids now I’m back bread bb!
Only?
Bro, same

hello Brian, thanks for your video, can you specify the times you kneaded? Thank you
Thank you for being chill, yet, informative. Some cooking channels are leaning too far into the memes. Subbed fo life.
it seems you have an hydration of well below 50% (100g water +120 of eggs on 460g of flour = 47% )
is the brioche light and fluffy?how is it possible? the consistency doesn't seem right. it looks a perfect dough to laminate with a butter slab and craft some croissaints, that for sure, but it doesn't look like it will yeald soft and fluffy brioche buns
Brioche is my favorite and I’m so happy I can make it.
Hey Brian with 🎄 around the corner could you bake some panettone using only egg yolks,its amazing.Great recipe.
I'm gonna attempt to do this by hand..... It's gonna require alotta patience but I don't have a stand mixer. Plus after watching all your videos about bread I'm pretty confident in my dough handling skills. Wish me luck

Brian, where did you get that metal plate you put on your bowl? It's perfect for rising dough on the counter
I think it’s just a pizza pan. You can get them at any restaurant supply or on Amazon. Just measure the bowl and go just a little bigger in diameter.
Love the burger rolls... on to the next level!! Your vids are boss!
The amount of waiting time on making this brioche i'm pretty damn sure i could run to Paris bring it back home in less time.. thank you
oh wow can’t wait to try this out love buttery brioche !!! thank you bri!
Omg! Thank you! I have yet to master brioche. The buttery, sweet, SUPER soft kind. Uhh, my favorite bread. I don’t have a stand mixer so I hand kneed. I might have to wait until I can afford one.
Thank you for showing this bread making
Hey Brian, you allways make very good entertaining and learning video i really appreciate to atch ur videoes, do u think it is possible to make a 50/50 brioche. 50 percent butter 50 percent flour ?, keep up the good work and have a nice day,
OMG! just made this and it was SOOOOO worth it. you killed it again Brian, thank you!
great mine was dry I like more buttery let me try again thanks a lot Great Guidance
Hi, How Long can you keep brioche dough refrigerated for? Can it be refrigerated for over 2 nights?
We call this "cozonac". Very popular easter bread here in eastern Europe. We put raisins or turkish delight in sometimes.
I have made Hokkaido loaf bread with considerable butter and we love it. This is a ton of butter here! I'll have to try it!
Brian you are using higher protein AP how does it compare to usual 13% or so bread flour?
Awesome recipe. I was wondering how long you could store them. Is it better if you use them 3 days later to freeze in?
Made it last weekend. Came out perfect. Thanks for the vids and recipe.
Bread of all forms is finally making a comeback. Not that it's ever left but you couldn't admit to your bread love publicly without fear of carb shaming.
This recipe looks so good, you're going to make me get a stand mixer. I am not sure you appreciate just how valuable counter space is for us apartment dwellers!
No kidding I just got a stick blender and found some high sided containers :)
@@johncspine2787 what's your favourite things to do with the stand mixer?
Ok you convinced me… currently proofing this recipe on the counter!
Hello! I made the recipie and the brioche was spectacular. Follow every step and measure everything. I only had one problem: i took me more than 35 min in the kitchenaid to have the same dough you show in the video... I am using '000' flour, the one and only flour we have avaiable for bread were i am. What do you think? Any advice? Thanks!!
Hello this is a very instructive video as per usual. I was wondering if you could make one about garlic bread?
….and guess what?.. it tasted very good. Love it also would love to incorporate Shirley my SOur dough starter. I’ll play around
OH YEAH MY LIFE WILL FINALLY BE COMPLETE WITH SOME HOMEMADE FRENCH BRIOCHEEEE
I’m so excited to make this!! Looks absolutely stunning 🤤 😍
If you have a bigger kitchen aid mixer than this one, this comment is for you.
Once you’ve partially mixed the dough and are starting to add the butter, switch over to the paddle attachment. It will mix a lot more efficiently as well as faster.
Then once the dough becomes semi mixed with the butter and is starting to form larger chunks, switch back over to the dough hook to finish. This saves a solid 5-10 minutes of mixing time
Does the recipe make 2 batches of dough? Or only 1. Thank you!
I can assure you my first attempt at the braiding will not look like that. Another great video. I am very happy you have decided to drop two videos a week!
Hey Brian I have a question. Can this dough be put in a freezer and stored?
I would like to make some dough buns and store them for later use.
I live in a tropical country. How do you do this without it melting in your hands? Do I have to knead it in an air-conditioned room?
I am at the pre-butter stage and cannot get my dough to come together. It is very dry and looks like it needs moisture to form. Not sure where I went wrong or how I can amend for 2nd attempt. Advice?
Yes!! Thank you so much for the recipe, Bri.. I cant wait to try to make it this weekend. You always make awesome videos and easy to follow. You are the Best!!!
I just made the rolls. My mother loves them.
This is a “must try”, Bri! Thanks!
Wow I didn't expect another video this week. Nice
Delicious and easy to make! Made it and followed the instructions exactly.
I was looking for a good brioche recipe for a while! Do I need to scale down the recipe if I only have a smaller load pan? I think it's 9x5
Hi, I want to know why the brioche proofs unevenly in the pan and loses the braiding shape😢it ends up looking weird and some braids gets too big and others almost get squished by them…any insight?
Thank you
Great video. Nice walkthrough and stunning bread!
French bakeries....So. Very. Awesome. Can't wait to try this out!
Amateur beginner here. What is considered low and high speed in the stand mixer? Is Speed 3 alright for high speed?
If I have a 8x4 pan, should I reduce the recipe by 1/3?
I love your videos, in particular your sourdough video has completely changed my life and how I eat/view bread. This one though is quite tough to do. Once the dough got to the "slapping the sides/in a ball" stage I went a full 10 minutes, but it still tore. Kept going and it never ended up getting stretchy. Also it never ended up really rising. For this recipe I think bread flour should probably be used, considering the challenge to form gluten with such a fatty dough. It's in the fridge now, so I'll see what happens, but it doesn't appear it will turn out well. Anyone else have this issue?
To update, the final proof after braiding DID rise, the loaf came out looking gorgeous, but is quite a dense bread. Tastes more like a very rich biscuit honestly. Not bad tasting at all, just not so "bready" as in the video. Still not sure what went wrong.
I tried to make this but the dough never came together into a ball. Any tips?
What is the difference between occupying milk and occupying water?
Will adding the cast iron skillet with boiling water for the first little while help with the rise like you did on the ciabatta video?
Yes , boiling water in bottom of oven creates steam in the oven . Helps all bread rise better & keeps the crust moist while baking
Ok I have a question for you I really, really need to know how is "leidenheimers bread" are made for Po-boy, they are soft and yet has a good amount of "Chew" and it holds by God that it holds sauces and gravies. Please be kind enough to explain and make one of these breads.
Love your Vids and thank you for sharing
Sup?✌Bri, is there a way to do this without a stand mixer????
Unfortunately not this one.
where can one find that lid you use to proof with ?
This will be my next loaf. It looks amazing!!!
