Sicilian Breakfast Brioche Recipe
- 1/4 ounce rapid rise yeast
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 4 1/2 cups bread flour
- 3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 6 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 cup unsalted butter, diced, at room temperature
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon water
- Ice cream, for serving
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine yeast, sugar, salt, and flour. Mix to combine. Add orange juice and eggs and beat until dough begins to form.
- Using a dough hook, knead bread until smooth and shiny, about 10 minutes.
- Add 2 tablespoons butter. Knead into dough until absorbed. Repeat with remaining butter, adding two tablespoons at a time. Once butter is incorporated, knead one minute.
- Cover dough with a dish towel and let rise until doubled in volume, about 2 hours.
- Punch dough to deflate. Shape into a ball. Cover with dish towel and let rest in refrigerator for two hours or overnight.
- Let dough come back to room temperature. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Shape dough into fourteen round balls, placing balls on prepared baking sheets.
- Let buns rise until doubled in size, about one hour.
- Preheat oven to 400u0b0 F. Lightly beat egg with teaspoon water. Brush egg wash over tops of buns. Bake buns until golden, about 15 minutes.
- To serve, cut each cooled bun in half and fill with ice cream.
