So, what is brioche really? Brioche is a pastry and a delectable sweet bakery items traditionally made with butter and eggs that gives it a rich, slightly sweet and buttery flavor. It is recommended to mix slowly and for a long time before adding the fat. This creates the specific, soft and melting texture of the brioche. For industrial production, reducing fermentation time—necessary due to large quantities of butter and sugar—can be managed using pre-fermented dough.
