Amazingly Soft Brioche w/ Cardamom Custard | Perfect Brioche Loaf Recipe

This brioche must be the most fragrant and delicious bread to come out my oven as of late. Rich, soft, and supple dough layered with a saffron & cardamom custard - it is sure to make you hungry just thinking about it. I have said it many times before and I will say it again – brioche is the most versatile dough. You can pretty much make anything out of it. Don’t believe me? Check out the brioche playlist on my channel. There are at least 10 recipes there and we are sure to add many more in the future. Its versatility also allows for great customization. Don’t like the flavour of the custard? Flavour it with what ever you fancy. Don’t like custard at all? Spread your favourite filling on to the dough. This would go perfectly with some chocolate spread or any flavour of fruit curd. Don’t want to twist the loaf like I show in the video? Simply roll it up, slice into rolls and bake individually. Or perhaps go the babka-way of shaping. It’s all good! The brioche is super easy to make. I use the same base recipe in all my brioche projects, and it has never failed me. The filling is the easiest custard in the word. No tempering needed. Simply mix all ingredients, cook whilst whisking until thick and it’s done. The dough will take around 25 minutes of mixing time so you must ensure that all the ingredients are stone cold before you begin. The eggs, butter, water, and flour! I even put my flour in the freezer, so it gets super cold alongside the dough hook. And I refrigerated the mixing bowl. Do not even attempt making this without chilling your ingredients because you will fail. 📖 Get the recipe ➡️ https://www.chainbaker.com/custard-br... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🥨 To learn more about bread making click here ⤵️ Principles of Baking http://bit.ly/principles-of-baking The Steps of Baking http://bit.ly/steps-of-baking ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🔪 Find all the things I use here ⤵️ 🇺🇸 https://www.amazon.com/shop/ChainBaker 🇬🇧 https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/ChainBaker ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🌾 If you would like to support my work click here ⤵️ https://www.ko-fi.com/chainbaker ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapters 0:00 Intro 0:45 Ingredients & equipment 1:47 Making the dough 5:11 Cooling & folding 6:20 Dividing, shaping & cold proofing 7:36 Cooking the custard 8:39 Final shaping 11:20 Final proof & baking 12:16 Applying the sugar glaze 12:39 The result ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #Bread #Baking #ChainBaker ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclosure I participate in the Amazon Influencer Program which will earn commissions from qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you.
