Tips & Notes
- Make sure the butter is very soft, like mayonnaise, before adding it. Cold butter will not blend into the brioche dough and leaves greasy lumps.
- The cold rise is not optional. Warm brioche dough is too soft to shape, and the chill also deepens the flavor; overnight is even better.
- Brioche browns fast because of the eggs, butter and sugar. Cover the top with foil as soon as it is golden and trust the 190°F center reading.
