Lazy G.F. (GENDER FREE) Brioche

Lazy Gender Free Brioche

This recipe is a synthesis of two recipes. I like this recipe because you don’t have to use the mixer. The technique is based on what I saw on Cooks Illustrated. Except I don’t enjoy eating that much butter, and the recipe is based on Floyds Lazy Mans Brioche.

Dough

500g bread flour

250g milk

2 eggs

50g sugar

15g instant yeast

5g salt

1 stick (113g) unsalted butter, diced

Filling

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Egg Wash

1 egg

a pinch of salt

a teaspoon water

500g bread flour (approx 3 1/2cup)

250g cool milk (approx 1 1/4cup)

15g instant yeast (2 tsp)(note 1 packet is 2 1/4 tsp)

5g salt (1 tsp)

1 stick (113g) unsalted butter, diced (cold)

The technique comes from a Cooks Illustrated Recipe

except I made my rolls 2.75 ounces, so that they would be easier to release from the pan.
