Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) to ensure it’s ready when your dough is prepared.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
- In another bowl, whisk together the yogurt, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined, taking care not to overwork the dough.
- Dust your work surface with a little flour and turn the dough out onto it. Knead for about 5 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Baking
- Divide the dough into small balls (about the size of a golf ball) and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Leave some space between them, as they will rise.
- Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
- Once baked, let the brioche breads cool slightly before serving.
Notes
For the perfect Small Yogurt Brioche Breads, consider substituting yogurt with Greek yogurt for a richer flavor. Timing matters; don't rush the kneading process as it helps develop gluten. Avoid overworking the dough to prevent dense breads. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month. Reheat in the oven at 160°C (320°F) for 10-15 minutes to restore freshness.
