Soft and Fluffy Sourdough Brioche Bread

Stretch and Folds

Just like many of you, I’m not a big fan of the strong sourdough tang in sweet breads. That’s why I’m thrilled to share my sourdough brioche bread recipe!

It’s a delightful twist on the classic, with a milder flavor and less richness. Perfect for those who crave a softer, subtler taste in their brioche.

ingredients:

For Brioche Dough – bread flour – sourdough starter – milk

STEP 1

The night before, make a sweet stiff starter to encourage wild yeast growth.

To make the dough, combine your sugar, milk, salt, eggs, butter, and the bubbly sourdough starter in a mixing bowl of a stand mixer.

STEP 2

STEP 3

For bulk fermentation, transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap or a damp towel, and let it rest in a warm spot. After bulk fermentation is done, transfer the dough into the fridge.

STEP 4

Turn the dough onto a floured work surface and divide it into 16 equal pieces. The easiest way to do this is with a dough scraper, but a sharp knife works too.

STEP 5

For the second rise, place the dough balls in parchment paper-lined loaf pans or coat your loaf pan with butter or oil.
