Admittedly, I didn’t gauge my flour well when making this dough and we ended up with enough for TWO LARGE LOAVES. So one because a lovely Green Olive Brioche and it was a big hit. The egg and oil in the bread make for a light and fluffy crumb even when using whole grain flour.
Whole Grain Brioche Two Ways
Ingredients
Optional for second loaf
Instructions
-
We grind our wheat berries fresh and used spelt for this bread.
-
For an extra fine flour we also place the ground wheat berries in the Vitamix for a minute.
-
Placing all of the ingredients in our Kitchen aid equipped with the dough hook, we added additional flour as necessary to come to a sticky dough.
-
We split the dough into two sections and braided one for a large ceramic pan and mixed a cup of sliced green olives and pimentos into the other. Let rise until doubled in size, 1-2 hours. Bake at 350° for about 45 minutes.
