BRIOCHE ~~~ YUMMY!!!!

I made this Brioche today, very easy to make and very good. I will make it again with more sugar coz I like it more sweet I guess, and I will put less lemon zest. Its good to have some lemon zest but maybe I put too much. The smell is too strong even through it didn’t taste it. Over all I give myself for a B+ for 1st Brioche!

Enjoy

3 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 packages (1/4 oz each) active dry yeast
1 tsp grated lemon peel
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
5 eggs

1. in a large mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, sugar, yeast, lemon peel and salt. in a saucepan, heat butter and milk to 120-130 F. add to dry ingredients and beat until moistened.

2. add four eggs and beat, add one cup flour and beat until smooth. stir in the remaining flour but do not knead. spoon dough into a greased bowl and cover and let rise in a warm place for about an hour.

3. punch dough down, cover and refrigerate overnight.

4. punch dough down and turn onto a lightly floured surface. cover and let rest for 15 mintues. cut 1/6 from the dough and set aside. divide the remaining dough into 12 equally sized balls and place into greased muffin cups. divide the 1/6 of the dough into 12 smaller balls. make an indentation in each larger dough ball and place a small ball into the indentation. cover and let rise in a warm place for about an hour.

5. beat remaining egg and brush over rolls. bake at 375 F for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. you may also want to put an oven proof bowl of water in the bottom of the oven to keep the brioches moist as they bake.
