This week we will be learning about enriched yeast doughs. These are doughs that are based on the basic lean dough method with added ingredients. You'll need to know the information on this page to complete the enriched dough assignment.

Enriched Dough Definition: A dough that includes the addition of ingredients such as sugar or syrup, butter or oil, whole eggs or egg yolks, and milk or cream.

Included in this category are soft rolls, brioche, and challah.

When fats are introduced, they change the dough’s texture as well as the way in which it behaves during mixing, kneading, shaping, and baking.

An enriched dough is usually softer, and the finished product has a more tender bite after baking than items from lean doughs.

They may be golden in color because of the use of eggs and butter, and the crust is soft rather than crisp.
