Ingredients
- • All-purpose flour: 4 cups
- • Sugar: 1/4 cup
- • Salt: 1 teaspoon
- • Instant yeast: 2 teaspoons
- • Whole milk: 1 cup, warmed
- • Unsalted butter: 1/2 cup, softened
- • Eggs: 4 large, divided
- • Ground beef: 1 pound
- • Onion: 1 medium, finely chopped
- • Garlic: 3 cloves, minced
- • Worcestershire sauce: 2 tablespoons
- • Sharp cheddar cheese: 1 1/2 cups, shredded
- • Fresh parsley: 2 tablespoons, chopped
- • Olive oil: 1 tablespoon
- • Black pepper: 1 teaspoon
- • Salt: to taste
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- 2 In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Add the warm milk, softened butter, and 3 eggs. Mix until a dough forms, then knead until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.
- 3 Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- 4 While the dough rises, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- 5 Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a large rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the beef mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- 6 Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped parsley over the beef layer. Roll the dough tightly into a log, pinching the seams to seal.
- 7 Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and arrange them cut-side up in a greased round baking dish, forming a spiral pattern.
- 8 Beat the remaining egg and brush it over the dough pieces. Cover the dish with a damp cloth and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
- 9 Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the brioche is golden brown and cooked through. Let cool slightly before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • This savory beef and cheese-stuffed brioche loaf pairs beautifully with a simple green salad, balancing the richness of the bread with fresh, crisp flavors. Consider serving it alongside a bowl of creamy tomato soup, which complements the cheesy goodness of the loaf. For beverages, a robust red wine like a Cabernet Sauvignon or a chilled craft beer can enhance the savory notes of the dish. Additionally, a sparkling water with a twist of lemon can provide a refreshing contrast to the richness of the meal.
Storage Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, wrap individual pieces in aluminum foil and warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10-15 minutes to preserve the texture and flavor.
