🥖 MILK BRIOCHE – Ultra Fluffy, Cloud-Soft Homemade Bread
If you’ve ever dreamed of baking bread that feels like a soft, buttery cloud, this Milk Brioche is exactly that. Light, airy, slightly sweet, and melt-in-your-mouth soft—this recipe is perfect for breakfast, sandwiches, or simply enjoying warm with butter.
The secret? Warm milk, patient kneading, and a rich enriched dough that transforms into bakery-level brioche at home.
🧈 Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs (room temperature)
- 1 cup whole milk (warm, about 110°F / 43°C)
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 packet (7g) instant yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- Optional: 1 tsp vanilla for a slight sweet aroma
- For brushing: 1 egg yolk + 1 tbsp milk
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Activate the dough base
In a large bowl, mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until slightly foamy.
2. Add wet ingredients
Add eggs and vanilla (if using). Mix well until combined.
3. Add dry ingredients
Gradually add flour and salt. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
4. Knead the dough
Knead by hand or mixer for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. Add butter
Add softened butter little by little while kneading. Continue until fully absorbed and dough becomes silky.
6. First rise
Cover the dough and let it rise for 1–2 hours, or until doubled in size.
7. Shape the brioche
Punch down the dough gently. Shape into balls or braid into loaf form.
8. Second rise
Let shaped dough rise again for 45–60 minutes.
9. Bake
Brush with egg wash and bake at 350°F (180°C) for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
10. Cool & enjoy
Let it cool slightly before serving for maximum fluffiness.
