TangZhong method cocoa and orange brioche, a very soft brioche prepared in a particular way.
The TangZhong method starts with pre-gelatinization of starches in the flour and the bread will be moister, will stay soft and fresh longer and rises higher.
I decided to prepare the cocoa and orange brioche to combine flavors and colors that match very well together.
A simple and delicious recipe, perfect for a snack or for breakfast.

    Dough
    The day after, place in the bowl of a stand mixer the sifted flours, yeast, room temperature Tangzhong, orange zest and powder milk.
    Knead with hook attachment to combine the ingredients.
    Pour the eggs combined with heavy cream and knead, increasing the speed, gradually (4/6 K.A.).
    Gradually add sugar and when it is completely incorporated, add the soft butter, a little at a time, then, add salt (the dough should be ready in about 20 minutes).
    Weigh the dough and divide in 2 equal parts.
    Put one of the parts back into the stand mixer.
    In a small bowl combine cocoa powder and add the necessary water to make a batter.
    Add the cocoa mixture to the dough in the mixer and knead until it is completely incorporated.
