Cookie Butter Brioche Star

Description

Cookie butter is basically the best thing on this planet, and I am always looking for different ways to eat it. I like to use Biscoff® Cookie Butter. It has more of a caramel taste, where as other cookie butters have a more ginger taste.

Ingredients

  • 3 ⅓ cups bread flour
  • ⅓ cup white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 pinch salt
  • ¾ cup milk, warmed
  • 2 eggs, separated
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, or as needed
  • 1 cup cookie butter (such as Biscoff®), divided

Instructions

  1. Place bread flour
  2. sugar
  3. yeast
  4. and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix with a fork. Add milk
  5. egg yolks
  6. and butter. Attach dough hook and knead until dough forms a ball and feels smooth and elastic
  7. about 10 minutes.
  8. Pour vegetable oil into a large bowl. Add dough and roll around to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled
  9. 1 to 2 hours.
  10. Transfer dough to a flat work surface. Knead gently to knock the air out. Form dough into a flat oblong shape
  11. then roll into a log. Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces. Keep dough covered with a damp cloth while you work with 1 piece at a time.
  12. Dust work surface with a little flour. Use a rolling pin to roll out first piece of dough. Invert a round 8-inch pan or plate on top; trace the rim with a sharp knife to cut dough into an 8-inch circle.
  13. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and slide the circle onto it. Warm cookie butter briefly in the microwave to make it easier to spread. Spread 1/3 of the cookie butter over the dough circle.
  14. Repeat with 2 more pieces of dough and remaining cookie butter. Roll out last piece of dough
  15. cut into an 8-inch circle
  16. and place on top. Invert the pan or plate over the stack and cut through all the layers to make a perfect circle.
  17. Invert a small drinking class in the center of the circle. Use a sharp knife to cut dough into quarters
  18. from the base of the drinking glass to the outside edge. Cut quarters into eighths
  19. then into sixteenths.
  20. Grab 2 slices and twist each one twice
  21. in opposite directions. Repeat all the way around the circle. Pinch and seal all the ends. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise for 20 minutes.
  22. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Beat egg whites lightly and brush over dough.
  23. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown
  24. about 20 minutes. Cool briefly before serving.
