Gently fold in the candied fruit and orange zest.
Step 5
Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let the dough rise for 1 hour.

Gently deflate the dough: press lightly to release the air, then shape it into a ball and place it in the brioche mold.
Step 7
Allow to rise again for about 45 minutes, until the dough has doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Bake the brioche for 25 minutes, until golden brown.
Step 9
Allow to cool before unmolding and serving.
My chef’s tip
For an even more aromatic brioche, consider marinating the candied fruit in a bit of rum for an hour before incorporating them into the dough.
Ceylon Tea
A black tea from Ceylon pairs beautifully with the sweetness and fruitiness of this brioche, elegantly unveiling its delicate aromas.
