Enriched Dough
Definition
Dough that contains significant amounts of fat, sugar, dairy, or eggs (like Brioche or Challah). These ingredients inhibit gluten development and yeast activity, so these doughs often take longer to rise.
Henry's Tips
- •Sugar and fat slow down yeast (the 'osmotic stress'). Be patient; enriched doughs operate on their own slow timeline.
