Enriched & Sweet Breads
Butter, eggs, sugar, and milk — the science of rich, tender dough.
Overview
Add butter, eggs, milk, or sugar and everything changes. These ingredients soften the crumb and add flavor, but they also slow fermentation and weaken structure. That's why brioche and cinnamon rolls behave nothing like a lean loaf. This page shows you how to handle that difference. How to build strength into a rich dough without overworking it. How to ferment it without stalling it. You'll learn how to get light, soft, pull-apart texture instead of something dense and heavy. Same fundamentals. Different balance.
