Brioche (Sharik) – Fluffy French Bread Rolls 🥖☕

Brioche, also known in some regions as Sharik, is a classic French pastry-like bread. It’s made mainly from flour, enriched with ingredients such as oil or butter, yeast, milk, and sometimes sugar.

What makes brioche special is its soft, airy texture that melts in your mouth. It’s widely enjoyed across Europe, especially as a breakfast item served with coffee. Today, let’s learn how to prepare these fluffy and delicious rolls step by step.

Ingredients

Brioche (Sharik)

 

  • 4 cups flour (sifted)

  • ½ cup warm water

  • ½ cup milk

  • ¼ cup corn oil + 2 tablespoons butter (or simply ½ cup oil if no butter available)

  • 2 beaten eggs

  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast

  • A pinch of vanilla

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

  • 1 cup sugar (optional, if you want a sweet version)

For brushing:

  • 1 egg yolk beaten with a little milk

  • Optional topping: sugar, sesame, or grated coconut

Preparation

  1. Make the Dough Base

    • Dissolve the sugar in the milk until smooth.

    • Add the beaten eggs, vanilla, oil, and butter. Mix until combined.

  2. Add Dry Ingredients

    • Gradually add the sifted flour, mixing as you go.

    • Stir in sesame seeds, baking soda, and yeast (after testing the yeast by dissolving it in warm water with a little sugar).

    • Knead the dough well until it becomes soft and elastic.

  3. First Rise

    • Cover the dough and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour, until it doubles in size.

  4. Shape the Brioche

    • Divide the dough and shape into braids or rolls.

    • Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    • Let rise again for about 30 minutes.

  5. Bake

    • Brush the tops with the egg yolk and milk mixture. Sprinkle with sugar, sesame, or coconut, if desired.

    • Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) until golden brown.

Serving

Brioche can be served warm or cold, with tea, coffee, or even as a base for sweet and savory fillings.

Soft, fluffy, and slightly sweet—this brioche will make your breakfast feel like a French café experience! 🥐✨
