Brioche Wool Roll Bread :Weave Some Magic into Your Baking Repertoire

Brioche Wool Roll Bread :Weave Some Magic into Your Baking Repertoire…

Wool roll bread (or wool elbow brioche) is the recipe that is all the rage on the web. It is a soft sweet brioche with a very unusual shape that resembles, precisely, a ball of wool. And of course I could not avoid making it!
It is not complicated at all and you can stuff it any way you like!

Ingredients :

  • 300g (2 1/3 cups) strong white bread flour
  • 80ml (1/3 cup) lukewarm milk
  • 10g fresh yeast or 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 30g (2 tablespoons) caster sugar (granulated sugar)
  • 1 large egg
  • 100ml (1/2 cup) single cream
  • Zest of 1 orange or lemon
  • Milk for brushing (as needed)

How to make Brioche Wool Roll Bread:

  1. Dissolve the fresh yeast in warm milk and put all the other ingredients in the bowl of the planetary mixer.
  2. Also add the milk and yeast mixture and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  3. Let the dough rise in the bowl covered with plastic wrap until it has doubled in volume.
  4. Transfer the dough to the floured pastry board and flatten it slightly with your hands, then, divide it into 5 equal pieces as if cutting a round cake and form into balls. Cover them and let them rest 15 minutes.
  5. Roll out one ball at a time with a rolling pin making an oval. Fray half of the rolled out dough with the help of a tarot knife. Stuff the unbroken part with whatever you want.
  6. Then roll it up starting with the non-fraying side.
  7. Arrange the 5 rolls in the baking dish, side by side, in a circular fashion, cover and let rise until the dough has reached the edges of the mold.
  8. Brush the brioche ball of wool with a little milk and bake in a hot oven at 170°C for about 20 minutes.
