brioche dough
Buttery yeast mixture
Brioche dough is an enriched bread dough made with generous amounts of butter and eggs, producing a tender, golden crumb with a slightly sweet flavor.
The high fat content makes it soft and rich—closer to pastry than ordinary bread.
Brioche dough is used for rolls, loaves, and as a base for dishes like French toast or beef Wellington: The recipe calls for wrapping the tenderloin in brioche dough.
