Turmeric Sunflower Brioches
Easy turmeric sunflower brioches for your next spring brunch. The recipe is simple, the shaping is easier than it looks, and you don’t need any special tools.
Ingredients
- 2½ cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Instant yeast
- Pinch Salt
- ⅓ cups Warm milk
- ¼ cups Granulated sugar
- 2 Eggs
- ½ tsp Vanilla extract
- ½ tsp Turmeric
- 60 g Unsalted butter
- Cocoa powder to color the centre
Instructions
Make the dough
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, salt, warm milk, eggs, vanilla, and turmeric. Adding the turmeric now ensures it mixes in easily and colors the dough evenly.Knead for 5 minutes, on low, until everything is well combined and a rough dough forms.Add the cold butter to the mixture. Knead until the butter is fully incorporated into the dough.Increase the speed to medium and knead for a full 10 minutes. The dough should be stretchy and smooth, not teary.(Note: If the dough is too sticky, add a touch more flour; if it's too dry, add a small splash of milk.)
Divide the dough
- Once your main dough is fully kneaded and smooth, pull off a small piece. If your total dough weighs around 660g, you’ll want to take out about 100g.Add the cocoa powder to this smaller piece of dough and knead it by hand or in the mixer until the color is a solid, dark brown with no yellow streaks left. This gives you two separate doughs to work with: a large golden one for the petals and a small chocolate one for the "seeds" in the middle.
Rise
- Place both doughs in separate greased bowls. Let them rise for 1 to 2 hours until doubled in size.
Shape the Sunflowers
- Divide the yellow dough into 8 pieces and the cocoa dough into 8 pieces. Follow the steps in the images to shape the dough.
- Next steps.
Final Rise and Bake
- Place your shaped sunflowers onto a baking tray lined with baking paper. While they rest, preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). By the time the oven is hot (about 15 to 20 minutes), the brioches will have puffed up slightly and be ready to bake.Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the tops are golden.
