This cottony dough that rises in one hour is what you need to make soft, fluffy brioche and honeycomb bread... and it also works for many other pastries.

Ingredients:

2 cups warm milk 3 tablespoons sugar 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1 tablespoon yeast 1 teaspoon vanilla 3 1/2 cups flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon soft butter or butter at room temperature Chocolate, cheese, or za'atar for the filling (if using it for honeycomb bread, exactly like this recipe) For brushing the top: 1 teaspoon instant coffee dissolved in a little liquid milk

Method:

Whisk the milk with the sugar, oil, yeast, and vanilla, then add just 1 1/2 cups of the flour and whisk again
Cover the bowl and leave it in a warm place for 10 minutes
After 10 minutes, add the remaining flour and the salt, stir, then add the butter and knead well by hand until you get a slightly sticky, cohesive dough
Cover the dough and leave it until it doubles in size
After the dough has risen, grease your hands with oil and shape the dough into medium balls
Fill the balls as desired, seal them, then arrange them in an oiled baking tray
Leave the tray in a warm place so the balls can rise again before baking
Brush the tops with the milk and coffee mixture
Bake the cottony honeycomb bread at 190°C for 30 to 35 minutes
