Sourdough Brioche | How to make sourdough brioche by hand

This sourdough brioche recipe is so easy, you can even make it by hand! Buttery, eggy, brioche is usually kneaded in a stand mixer because it’s so sticky. But, I made this recipe so that it's manageable enough to be made by hand.

Thank you a thousand times for your recipe!!! I've been trying sourdough brioche recipes for a while, and it never worked, my dough never rose, even though I've been making bread every week with it for 2 years, and it rises normally. I'm so happy, and the brioche is very good!!!! thank you so so much!

You are such a great teacher!! Simple, concise, to the point and no jibber jabbering nonsense. Looking forward to trying this!!

This is my first time making sourdough brioche, I have made other brioche recipes before. But this is by far the best brioche recipe I have ever made, my family agrees. I’m so glad I made 2 batches of this. I am definitely making this recipe again it’s light fluffy, buttery and tasty.

Thanks for your video! You didn't even need to make a stiff starter! That's a bonus, no extra step. I will try your recipe next time. Very good video btw.

I am so grateful for you!! You make things so simple and I am able to go by your recipes since I don’t have a stand mixer! 😅

Very nice. Any recipe that uses a starter captures my attention. Excellent job presenting.

I made this (and used a kitchen aid to mix as I’m a bit lazy) and woah!! I have brioche!!! And I used APF to save my bread flour for your sourdough recipe that I make 3 times a week. Thank you Grant, you have been instrumental in helping me kickstart my sourdough journey !

I always bake brioche with yeast, but this time you gave me encouragement to try sourdough. Will try it soon. Thanks

I have made this a dozen times without fail! Superb recipe. Good advice to measure the temperature, I had one of these turn out raw when I changed my dish.

You have the best bread chanel I have found

Tried out this recipe (started it yesterday) now anxiously awaiting the last rise before baking. I’m so glad you put the recipe up in grams, makes things so much easier!

[mojsharhappy]

Oh, I'm making this tomorrow 100%!! 😋 Love your sourdough recipes!! 😃

Loving the sourdough bread videos and watching for more fermenting recipies. New to all of this but has helped in my health with food. Looking forward to more. Thanks!

I made this over the weekend. It tasted good but it did not come out as soft as yours look. On the dense side for sure. This has always been my hurdle with Brioche in general even when using store bought yeast. Your recipe was really easy to follow. My dough rose/doubled in both proof times. Can you tell me roughly what you think happened? I know that’s a question you may not be able to answer.

[sareetawilliams]

It’s beautiful… I have to try this recipe
