Savory Herb and Cheese Stuffed Brioche
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water (110°F)
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, chives, and thyme)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 egg yolk, beaten with 1 tablespoon water for egg wash
Instructions
- In a small bowl, dissolve 1 package of active dry yeast in 1/4 cup of warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
- Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and 4 eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a disk and place 1 tablespoon of shredded Gruyère cheese and 1/2 tablespoon of chopped herbs in the center. Season with a pinch of black pepper and a pinch of garlic powder.
- Gather the edges of the dough and pinch them together to seal, forming a ball. Place the stuffed balls seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with a kitchen towel and let them rise for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the stuffed brioche with the egg wash and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Allow the brioche to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm.
