Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups (340g) lukewarm water
  • 2 (0.63oz each) packages (36g) Platinum Instant Sourdough Yeast
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 6 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup (170g) honey
  • 1 1/2 cups (340g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 7 cups (990g) all-purpose flour

Instructions

  • Mix the yeast, salt, eggs, honey and melted butter with the water in a 5-quart bowl, or lidded (not airtight) food container.
  • Mix in the flour, using a spoon until all of the flour is incorporated.
  • Cover (not airtight), and allow to sit at room temperature for about two hours.
    Note: if you don’t use room temperature eggs and warm water, the initial rise can be very slow.
  • Refrigerate the dough for about 4 hours before using. The dough can be used as soon as it is chilled. This dough is way too sticky to use after the initial rise, but once it is chilled it is very easy to handle. The dough can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes

Use this brioche to make these fabulous Doughnuts! It can be used to create any Artisan Bread in Five brioche recipe, such as: Sticky BunsStar Bread, or Baked Ham and Cheese Brioche Sandwiches.

I’m a fairly novice bread baker. Now that I’ve made the dough, let it rise at room temp and refrigerated it, what’s next? Do I knead it? How many rolls will I get? What temp do I baked it? Do I brush the tops with anything?

Hi Joice – A few recipe ideas for this brioche dough are linked in the notes, including these doughnuts. To make rolls, I would suggest posting a question on Artisan Bread in Five’s website here. Jeff & Zoe can help you with any questions you have.
Happy baking!

If i just want to bake this in a free style loaf what temp should I bake it at in the oven?

Hi Kimberly – Depending on the size of your loaf, bake for 35-45 minutes (or until internal temperature reaches 190-195 degrees F) in a preheated 350 degree F oven.
Happy baking!
