Blueberry Brioche Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   In a pan, mix blueberries, sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Heat on medium until the blueberries burst and the mixture slightly thickens. Set aside and let it cool.

   
2. 2

   In a bowl, place flour, create a well in the center, add dry yeast into the well, and pour one tablespoon of lukewarm milk to activate the yeast. Combine sugar, egg, soft butter, lukewarm milk and a pinch of salt. Knead the dough until smooth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, doubling in size.

   
3. 3

   Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle.

   
4. 4

   Evenly spread the cooled blueberry jam on the dough.

   
5. 5

   Roll up the dough from the longer side, forming a simple 2-strand braid.

   
6. 6

   Place the braid in a loaf pan (size 11 x 20.5 cm) lined with parchment paper and let it rise for an additional 15-20 minutes. Brush the surface with the egg yolk-milk mixture.

   
7. 7

   Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

   
8. 8

   Bake the braid in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

   
9. 9

   Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
