How to make Vrioche (Brioche with EV Olive Oil) naturally plant-based, by Philip Khoury

A NEW WAY TO BAKE: VRIOCHE 
 
Traditional brioche gets its beautiful, feathered texture, softness and flavour from a lot of butter and the shaping technique. Here, I have developed a recipe which in conjunction with the tangzhong technique and the inclusion of a healthy dose of olive oil, produces a beautiful and versatile dough.

Love your book it just arrived today - I had it recommended to me by Hannah Evans from the Times & Sunday Times, she said you made a fantastic plant based meringue!

Please do put the part 2 up soon! There's just the one QR code in the book as far as I can tell :)

Hi Phil, I will attempt to make this next week! Do you think I could use GF bread flour instead of regular bread flour, and work the dough for longer? I love the idea of using EVOO instead of plant butter.

Hi, the grams of sweet potato in the book refer to the cooked sweet potato and not raw, right?

I’ve made the dough a couple of times now but I needed to mix it a lot longer than a few mins after adding the tangzhong. The last time it took about 15 minutes before the dough started to come away from the sides. What could be the reasons why? Perhaps I didn’t cook the tangzhong long enough?

When you say sweet potato cooked... Do you mean boiled?
