RECIPE STEPS
1/ Brioche
INGREDIENTS
- 50 g flour
- 25 g baker’s yeast
- 75 g water
- 400 g flour
- 20 g caster sugar
- 10 g trimoline (or acacia honey)
- 4 eggs
- 300 g butter
- 1 egg + 1 yolk (glaze)
- 200 g chopped almonds
Prepare the starter by mixing the 50 g flour with the water and baker’s yeast. Leave to rise for 30 min.
Put the flour in the bowl of a stand mixer. Make a well, add the sugar, trimoline, starter and eggs.
Knead with the dough hook on medium speed for about 10 min.
Add the pieces of cold butter and knead again until the dough comes away cleanly from the bowl.
Remove and wrap in cling film. Set aside in the refrigerator for one night.
The next day, roll out the dough with a rolling pin so that it is larger than a buttered 24 cm diameter tart ring. Trim the dough by pressing lightly against the rim of the tart ring. Remove the surplus dough and leave to rise for 2 h at room temperature.
