Ingredients
- 500 grams All Purpose Flour (Maida)
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 2 Whole Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 200 ml Milk
- 1 cup Homemade Pizza And Pasta Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Milk
- 2 tablespoons Sunflower Oil
Instructions
- To prepare French Brioche Recipe (Savoury Version), Pour Luke warm milk in a bowl, add sugar and yeast into the milk and mix well
- Leave it for 10 minutes until the mixture froths up to proof
- If it does not froth, discard the mixture and make a new batch again
- Break the eggs into another bowl and beat them lightly
- Set aside
- Mix flour and salt in a large mixing bowl
- Make a depression in the center, pour in the eggs, melted butter and yeast mixture
- Knead into smooth dough by adding additional water until pliable and soft
- Transfer the dough to a clean surface, dust little flour and knead for about 20 minutes until the dough is smooth and shiny
- Make a ball, and transfer to the same bowl in which you started, grease the bowl and the dough with olive oil
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and leave it to prove for an hour or until the size of the dough is doubled in volume
- After the dough has risen to double the volume, Punch the dough and knead it again
- Divide the dough into 4 portions
- Take one of the portions and roll it into a circle that is 2mm thick like chapati
- I used a plate to cut the round shape from the dough, so all my 4 portions are equal in size
- Grease the baking tray with olive oil and place the rolled dough on the baking tray
- Spread pizza sauce on top of the rolled dough, leaving the edges
- Next take the second portion of the dough and roll it to the same size
- Lift the roll carefully and place it on top of the first layer
- Spread pizza sauce on top leaving the edges, like you did for the first layer
- Repeat step the same steps for two more layers
- Do not spread the pizza sauce on top of the 4th and final layer
- Place a very small bowl or the mouth of a glass at the center of the layers
- Using a sharp knife, slit the layers of dough sheets together into 4 (in a plus shape but leaving the center intact)
- Next cut in between the 4 portions and make 8 divisions(in a plus shape but leaving the center intact)
- Finally cut in between the 8 portions making 16 wedges throughout
- Like a braid, take two adjacent wedges and place each wedge on the opposite side and twist further till centre and form the petal in the centre
- Similarly braid every 2 adjacent wedges by twisting and making a flower formation at the end of the work
- Seal the edges when you are at the end of every braid twist
- Cover the flower with damp cloth and let it prove for another 30 minutes
- Brush milk over the dough very gently without putting pressure
- Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180 degrees for 18 to 20 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the bottom edges are brown
- Place on wire rack and immediately brush with olive oil and let cool
- Beautiful French Brioche Recipe (Savoury Version) is ready
