Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Dough:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup butter (softened)
  • Red food coloring

For Laminating:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (cold)

For Topping:

  • Fresh strawberries, raspberries, blueberries
  • Chocolate pearls
  • Honey or simple syrup (for glaze)

Instructions

  • Make the Dough – In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Add warm milk, eggs, and softened butter. Knead until a smooth dough forms.
  • Color & Chill – Divide the dough in half and tint one portion with red food coloring. Cover and chill both doughs for 1 hour.
  • Prepare the Butter Block – Roll out the cold butter into a thin sheet between parchment paper and refrigerate until firm.
  • Laminate the Dough – Roll out both doughs separately, then layer them together with the butter in between. Fold and roll out the dough 3-4 times, alternating the red and plain dough layers to create a swirl effect.
  • Shape & Proof – Shape the dough into a loaf or desired form, then proof for 1 hour until doubled in size.
  • Bake – Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and flaky.
  • Glaze & Decorate – Brush the warm brioche with honey or simple syrup for a glossy finish. Garnish with fresh berries and chocolate pearls.
  • Serve & Enjoy! – Slice and savor this buttery, flaky, and visually stunning brioche feuilletée

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use European-style butter.
  • Ensure the butter stays cold during lamination for perfect flaky layers.
  • Serve warm for the best texture and taste.
