Brioche Dough

We recently launched a new class at The Mediterranean Culinary Academy teaching our attendees how to make brioche dough. Developed and led by David Vella, one of our chef instructors at MCA.


In this class David demonstrates how to make the perfect dough as well as showcasing the versatility of this dough.


We would like to share parts of this class with you. This recipe will guide you through the process to make a basic brioche dough and transform it to brioche muffins, brioche rosemary-scented loaf and brioche cinnamon rolls.


Please share your creations with us by tagging us @mca_malta or sending us a photo on our socials.


We will be running another Brioche class on the 29th June, for all our available classes click here
