Blueberry marmalade brioche
What happens if we add our favorite marmalade into the dough of braided brioche? We obtain a soft and delicious brioche with a light fruity aftertaste and an irresistible smell. To get a better result I recommend using a jam with a strong flavor and a bright color.
Instead if you are looking for a classic brioche with marmalade I will recommend Brioche with cherry marmalade.

What marmalade to use?
For this recipe I used a blueberry marmalade made by Cavazza. The marmalade has a strong and decisive flavor that has given this brioche a delicate aftertaste, a pastel violet color and a blueberry scent.
2 tips for those who want to prepare this recipe. To keep your brioche fresh and inviting even the next day I recommend using a small amount of active dry yeast (as I did) and use long rising times. Instead if you are in a hurry just double the yeast and halve the waiting time.
If you use a marmalade with a lot of sugar in it, I recommend reducing the sugar in the recipe otherwise the brioche will become to sweet. Also if you decide to add more marmalade for the color is for a more decisive flavor then I recommend you decrease the liquids but I do not assure you will have the same effect and taste of the original recipe. I want to remind you that colors change during cooking, in general they become lighter while the outside becomes darker.
Instructions: Blueberry marmalade brioche
Mix flour with yeast and a pinch of salt and sugar. Add egg, warm milk and melted butter and start kneading by hand or mixer with a dough hook.
At this point add the marmalade and vanilla extract and continue to knead for 10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
Move into the lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in volume. My dough needed almost 3 hours to double because it was pretty cold in the apartment.
The rising times are approximate, it can take more or less time depending on the temperature of the environment, the freshness of the yeast, the strength of the flour and other factors not related to the recipe.
After this time deflated the dough and divide it into 3 equal parts. Roll out each piece until you create 3 long lstripes. Create a simple three-strand braid and seal the tips. Place on a baking sheet covered with baking paper. Cover with a cotton cloth and let it rise for another hour.
Spread your brioche with some milk and sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C for about 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely before serving.
lot of love. B.
