2B — THE OBSERVER & BAKER CITY HERALD BRIOCHE Continued from Page 1B Drape a sheet of plastic wrap gently over the pan and let the dough proof at room tempera- ture for three hours. Cover the pan from edge to edge loosely with plastic wrap, then refriger- ate for 12 hours. 7. Remove the pan from the refrigerator and remove the outer sheet of plastic wrap. Let proof at room temperature for three hours. 8. To pan-roast in honey but- ter, follow these instructions for cooking one roll. You can cook up to four rolls at a time, using a small skillet for one roll, a me- dium skillet for two or a large skillet for four. Increase the but- ter and honey proportionally: Use 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) butter and 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons (2 ounces) honey per roll. Melt the butter and honey together in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasion- ally. When the mixture starts to bubble, set a 4-inch-round, 2-inch-high ring mold in the center of the skillet. Turn the heat to low, then cup one hand over a risen dough round and gently invert the dough into that hand and carefully peel off the paper with the other hand. Gently tip the dough into the center of the ring, tucking it in if needed. 9. Set a timer for nine min- utes. Start spooning the honey butter over the dough and con- tinue basting it for 30 seconds. TUESDAY, APRIL 21, 2020 HOME & LIVING If any air bubbles appear, gently pop them. Take a break, then go back to basting now and then, swirling the mold while basting to ensure dough doesn’t stick. 10. When the timer goes off, very carefully slide a spatula or bench scraper under the dough and ring mold and fl ip both together back into the pan. Set the timer for nine minutes again. Baste for 30 seconds, then take a break. Baste the dough and swirl the mold every once in a while. 11. Turn the heat to high and set the timer for 3½ minutes. The honey butter will begin to bubble rapidly and start to caramelize. Use a small offset spatula to push and slide the bread in the ring mold around the pan to evenly caramelize the bottom. When the bottom of the bread is dark golden brown, after about 1½ minutes, carefully slide the spatula under the dough and ring mold and fl ip it over. Reduce the heat to medium as the caramel takes on a dark brown color and add 3 tablespoons water to prevent it from burning. Continue pushing and sliding the ring mold around the pan with the spatula and add more water if the caramel starts to darken or thicken too much. It should be the consistency of maple syrup. 12. When the timer goes off, slide a spatula or bench scraper under the ring mold and dough and lift the bread out of the pan and fl ip onto a wax or parch- ment paper-lined pan. Let cool for a minute, then slide the small offset spatula between the bread and ring mold to release the bread while lifting off the mold. 13. Transfer the bread to a serving dish. Pour the hot caramel sauce through a fi ne- mesh sieve set over a cup with a spout, then immediately pour the sauce over the bread. Serve hot. Repeat with the remaining bread dough balls, butter and honey. Divide the buns among serving plates. Strain and pour the hot caramel sauce over the buns. Serve hot. • Brioche Loaf Butter — a 9-by 5-inch loaf pan. After the dough has chilled in step 4, transfer to a clean work sur- face and press into a 9-inch- wide by 6-inch-long rectangle.
