Brioches with Strawberry & Lime Preserve

INGREDIENTS
- 100 g plain flour
- 150 g Manitoba flour
- 90 ml milk (+ 1 tablespoon for brushing)
- 50 g sugar
- 5 g fresh yeast
- 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 40 ml mild extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tablespoon honey
- 1 organic lemon
- 160 g “Strawberry & Lime” fruit preserve
- Dried apple slices
METHOD
- Dissolve the yeast in 1 tablespoon of lukewarm milk with a pinch of sugar and leave to rest until bubbles form on the surface.
- Place both flours in a bowl. Pour the dissolved yeast into the centre along with the lightly beaten egg, the remaining lukewarm milk, the grated lemon zest and the sugar. Knead until a smooth dough forms. Add the oil and continue kneading until the dough is soft and elastic. Shape into a ball, place in a lightly greased bowl, cover with cling film and let it rise until doubled in volume.
- Divide the dough into 4 portions and shape each into a smooth ball. Place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper, gently flatten with the palm of your hand, cover with a clean cloth and let rise again until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Brush the brioches with the remaining egg yolk mixed with 1 tablespoon of milk. Create a small well in the centre of each using the back of a spoon and fill it with the fruit preserve.
- Bake the brioches for about 20 minutes until golden. Serve with extra fruit preserve and garnish with lemon-drizzled apple slices.
