One-Step Sweet Brioche Dough

Classic brioche dough is often made using a poolish that incorporates part of the liquid and flour and all of the yeast in the formula. In this quicker and somewhat richer version, the ingredients are mixed as they are for a one-step bread dough. I’ve added a little lemon zest and a pinch of mace to emphasise the sweet flavour. This is the right amount of dough for all the recipes in this chapter that call for it.
