Convection Bread Maker. Press Menu and select Dough/Pizza Dough. Select dough size. Press Start to mix, knead and rise. This
dough is very soft; it is recommended to scrape the bowl after 10 minutes of kneading to ensure even distribution and mixing of ingredients. When dough cycle
is completed, remove dough, punch to deflate and transfer to a well-buttered bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Deflate dough and divide into the number and size brioches desired. For 1 or 1
1
⁄2 -pound brioche, remove
1
⁄6 of the dough. Shape the larger piece into a ball
and press into a buttered 6-inch brioche mold. Press a hole in the center about 1 inch deep. Shape the smaller piece into a ball and place in the center hole.
For individual brioches, follow the same shaping directions, and place in
1
⁄2 -cup brioche molds. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm (90°F),
draft-free place about 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F.
Brush brioche(s) with egg wash. Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes for individual brioches, and about 20 to 30 minutes for larger brioches, until rich
golden in color and hollow-sounding when tapped. Remove from pans and transfer to wire rack to cool. Bread slices best when allowed to cool.
*Gently and safely warm cold eggs by placing whole eggs in a bowl and covering with moderately hot tap water for 10 minutes.
