Preparation
  1. Prepare the dough

    15 min

    Place the yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer. Pour in the warm milk and let sit for 10 minutes to activate. Add sugar and vanilla, then mix in the eggs and cream. Add the flour and knead until smooth and elastic.

    Knead well to get a soft, airy texture.

  2. First rise

    2 hr

    Shape the dough into a ball, cover, and let rise until doubled in size.

    Let the dough rise in a warm place.

  3. Shape the brioche

    20 min

    Degas the dough, divide it into portions, shape into balls, and place them in a lined baking pan. Cover and let rise again.

    Handle the dough gently to keep it light.

  4. Bake

    25 min

    Brush the top with milk and bake until golden. Cover during baking if it browns too quickly.

    Cover with foil if the top gets too dark.
