Herb & Garlic Brioche<\/p><\/div>\n

Total time:\u00a0 3.5 hours<\/p>\n

Peta, of the blog Peta Eats<\/a>, was our lovely hostess for the Daring Cooks’ September 2011 challenge, \u201cStock to Soup to Consomm\u00e9\u201d. We were taught the meaning between the three dishes, how to make a crystal clear Consomm\u00e9 if we so chose to do so, and encouraged to share our own delicious soup recipes! Brioche was one of the optional recipes.<\/p>\n

2 cups (480 ml) (280 gm) (10 oz) all-purpose plain flour
\n2 teaspoons (10 ml) (7 gm) (\u00bc oz) active dry yeast
\n2 tablespoons (30 ml) (28 gm) (1 oz) granulated sugar
\n\u00bd teaspoon (2\u00bd ml) (3 gm) salt
\n\u00bd cup (120 ml) milk, warm
\n\u00bd cup (1 stick) (120 ml) (115 gm) (4 oz) unsalted butter, softened
\n3 large eggs
\n1 teaspoon (5 ml) (1 gm) chopped chives
\n1 teaspoon (5 ml) (1 gm) chopped parsley
\n1 teaspoon (5 ml) (2 gm) Italian mixed herbs
\n1 teaspoon (5 ml) (2 gm) freshly crushed garlic<\/p>\n

\"Thyme<\/a>

Thyme & Rosemary Brioche Bread Bowls<\/p><\/div>\n

1. In a medium-sized bowl, stir together the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
\n2. Slowly mix the warm milk, butter, mixed herbs and 2 of the eggs into the flour mixture
\n3. Knead until the dough is smooth. The dough is ready to rise when it is completely smooth and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
\n4. Cover the bowl and allow the dough to rise until it is doubled in size.
\n5. Transfer the dough from the bowl onto a floured work surface and punch it down a few times.
\n6. Finely chop the fresh herbs and mix with the garlic.
\n7. Press the dough out into a rectangle then spread with the chopped herbs.
\n8. Roll up like a Swiss roll and place on a lined baking tray.
\n9. Cover the pan and allow the dough to rise until it is doubled in size.
\n10. Preheat the oven to moderately hot 200\u00b0C\/400\u00b0F\/gas mark 6.
\n11. Remove the dough covering, gently brush the loaf with the remaining beaten egg, bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to moderate 180\u00b0C\/350\u00b0F\/gas mark 4 and bake for an additional 25 minutes, until the brioche is golden brown. Allow it to cool for 5 minutes in the pan, and then transfer it to a wire cooling rack.<\/p>\n

In my old-school Joy of Cooking cookbook, the instructions for brioche include “throwing the dough on the counter violently” (not even kidding). This recipe is so much easier. \ud83d\ude42 I loved this brioche so much, I also made bread bowls for gumbo<\/a>. If I hadn’t run out of butter, I’d have made something sweet, too. That’s next on the list.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
