Instructions
Prepare the brioche dough
In a large bowl, combine the flour, white sugar, baking powder and salt.
Add warm milk and egg. Knead by hand or in a food processor until the dough begins to form.
Gradually add the butter while kneading. Continue kneading until you obtain a smooth, elastic dough (about 10 minutes).
First growth
Form the dough into a ball, place in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a clean tea towel.
Leave to rise for 1h to 1h30 in a warm place, until the dough doubles in volume.
Shaping the buns
Deaerate the dough by pressing lightly, then divide into 2 equal portions.
Roll out each portion into a rectangle and brush the surface with the black sesame paste and Okinawa black sugar syrup.
Roll each rectangle on itself to form a cylinder, then shape into a spiral or ball, as you prefer.
Second shoot
Arrange the shaped brioches on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Cover with a tea towel and leave to rise for a further 30 minutes.
Cooking
Preheat oven to 180°C (fan-assisted).
Brush the buns with a little milk to brown them and sprinkle with black sesame seeds.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden and puffed.
Recipe notes
Tips for an even tastier brioche :
- If the dough seems too dry, add a teaspoon of milk.
- Add a spoonful of honey or black sugar syrup to the filling for an even more melting texture.
- Mix toasted walnuts or almonds with the black sugar for a crunchy touch.
- Keep the brioches in an airtight tin to preserve their softness. Reheat for a few seconds in the microwave before serving.
Serve your buns with matcha tea or hojicha for an authentic Japanese experience.
