Brioche-old Fashioned Method (bread Or Coffeecakes)
2. Blend in 2 beaten eggs and 3/4 cup flour to make a smooth mixture.
3. Then blend in 2 more eggs, salt, melted butter and 2 cups of flour.
4. beat vigourously with wooden spoon until dough is stiff and hard to stir.
5. Let dough rest 5 minutes. Knead on floured surface with heel of hands ( not warm palms ) until smooth and elastic.
6. Place dough in oiled bowl and cover and let rise in a warm place triple, about 3 hours or let cool rise in refrigerator overnight.
7. Pat dough into a rectangle 12 inches long.Flip right side over to middle and left side over to cover.
8. Pat dough back into a rectangle and repeat the folding again ( this redistributes the yeast cells to produce a fine grain texture ) Return dough to bowl and let rise again a minimum of 1 1/2 hours.
9. Punch down dough and place in pan or pans and let rise slightly more than double.
10. whatever pan you use just fill 1/3 to 2/5 full.
11. bake in a preheated 425 oven for 30 minutes or lightly browned.
12. for coffeecake: roll out dough and cover with sugar, cinnamon, nuts and reroll jelly roll style, forming into a ring and cutting sections with a scissors and forming alternate pieces into a petal design.
13. Let rise double and bake in middle oven rack at 375 until lightly brown.
14. Yield: 1 brioche loaf or 2 , 12 inch coffeecake rings.
15. Note: the trick for perfect brioche dough is never let the temperature of ingredients get to hot or to cold.
16. Since there are so many risings with this dough, I prefer to let the first rise occur in the refrigerator.
