This Fluffy Cloud Brioche is an airy, tender bread with a delicate crumb and buttery flavor. It’s perfect for breakfast, sandwiches, or as a snack on its own!

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Dough:
    • 4 cups (500g) bread flour
    • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
    • 1 tsp salt
    • 1 tbsp instant yeast
    • 4 large eggs (room temperature)
    • 1/4 cup (60ml) whole milk (lukewarm)
    • 3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter (softened, cut into cubes)
  • For the Egg Wash:
    • 1 egg
    • 1 tbsp milk

Instructions

  • Prepare the Dough:
    In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Add the eggs and lukewarm milk. Mix on low speed until a shaggy dough forms.
  • Add the Butter:
    Gradually add the softened butter, one cube at a time. Allow each piece to fully incorporate before adding the next. Knead on medium speed for 8–10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth, elastic, and slightly sticky.
  • First Rise:
    Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1–2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  • Shape the Brioche:
    Punch down the dough and turn it onto a floured surface. Shape it into a loaf or divide it into smaller portions for rolls. Place in a greased loaf pan or on a lined baking sheet.
  • Second Rise:
    Cover with a clean towel and let rise again for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until puffy and slightly jiggly to the touch.
  • Prepare the Egg Wash:
    In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Brush the mixture over the surface of the brioche.
  • Bake:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 25–30 minutes for a loaf, or 15–20 minutes for rolls, until golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  • Cool and Enjoy:
    Allow the brioche to cool on a wire rack before slicing or serving.

Notes

  • This brioche is perfect for a sweet breakfast or can be used for savory sandwiches.
  • Make sure to allow enough time for the dough to rise properly for a light, fluffy texture.
  • You can freeze the brioche for up to a month if needed. Just slice it first and reheat as needed.
