Bow Brioches Recipe
An easy brioche dough recipe made with simple ingredients and shaped like pink bows, with a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this aesthetic look 🎀
Ingredients
- 500 grams Flour (I used all-purpose)
- 1 Tbsp Honey
- ½ Cup Warm Milk
- 2 tsps Instant Yeast
- ¼ Cup Granulated Sugar
- ½ Tbsp Vanilla (Depending on your vanilla)
- 3 Eggs (Medium or large)
- Pinch of Salt
- 100 grams Unsalted cold butter
- Red or pink dye
Instructions
Make the dough:
- Add all ingredients to your stand mixer except for the butter. Use the dough hook attachment and mix on a low speed until everything is combined and a lumpy dough forms. If you are not dividing this recipe into 2 different designs, add the dye here (it will be combined easier).
- Keep the mixer on low. Add your cold butter cubes one at a time. Once the butter is in, turn the speed to medium. Knead for a full 8 to 10 minutes. The dough is ready when it is smooth, elastic, and pulls away cleanly from the sides of the bowl. If the dough is sticky add a bit of flour (1 Tbsp at a time).
- Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover it and let it sit in a warm spot for 1 to 2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Shape the dough:
- Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled surface. Divide the dough into 16 equal portions. Roll each portion into a smooth ball, then roll it out into a flat circle.
- Use a knife to make your cuts and fold the dough into a bow shape as shown in the tutorial.
- Place the bows on a baking tray with parchment paper. Brush them with milk or an egg wash. Let them rise at room temperature for 30 minutes, but be careful not to let them over-proof.
Bake & serve:
- Bake at 165°C (330°F) for 15 to 20 minutes. To protect the pink color, place an empty baking tray on the top shelf of the oven to block the direct heat from the top. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar and serve with your favorite jam.
