Small Yogurt Brioches

Preparation:
In a large bowl, mix the flour, yeast, sugar and salt.

Add the eggs and yogurt, then knead until you have a smooth dough.

Gradually add the melted butter while continuing to knead.

Cover the dough with a tea towel and leave to rest for 1.5 hours in a warm place, until it doubles in volume.

Shape small balls of dough and place them on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
Let rise a second time for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Brush the buns with the egg yolk and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown.

Here are some tips for making your Little Yogurt Brioches perfectly:

Tips for preparation:

Yogurt choice: Opt for a plain whole yogurt for a softer result. Greek yogurt also works very well for an even softer texture.

Kneading: Take the time to knead the dough well (10 to 15 minutes by hand or 7 to 10 minutes in a food processor). A well-kneaded dough is elastic and slightly sticky.

Yeast: Check the freshness of your baker’s yeast. If it is expired, it may compromise the rising. Activate it in a little warm milk with a pinch of sugar if necessary.
