How to Freeze Brioche

Brioche bread is a freezer-friendly bread. There are a few, easy things to keep in mind when freezing brioche. You can freeze brioche for up to 3 months.

How to make your homemade brioche freezer-ready:

• Make sure the brioche is cooled completely before freezing
• Slice brioche/ sandwich bread before freezing if you want to use individual slices.
• Divide/ slice brioche for reduced thawing time or easier portioning.
• Store air-tight

How to Thaw Brioche

Thawing brioche is straightforward. There is just one thing to keep in mind.

To keep the brioche from drying out, it’s best to thaw the brioche in an air-tight container/ ziplock bag.

Keep an eye on the brioche while thawing, though. If you see large drops of water form on the inside, it’s best to take the brioche and transfer it to a dry, air-tight container.

Otherwise, you’ll end up with soaked brioche. But, this will likely only happen if the brioche wasn’t completely cool before freezing.

More tips

Here are some additional tips & information to make the most of your homemade brioche:

• Give the brioche enough time to cool completely. A lot of moisture will evaporate while the brioche is cooling. If you don’t give it enough time, the moisture will be captured in the air-tight container. Once you thaw the brioche, the moisture will cause the brioche to get sloppy.
• Did you know you can freeze brioche bun dough as well? Make the dough up until you would normally bake it. Place them on a sheet of parchment paper individually and freeze them. Once completely frozen you can place them in an airtight container/ ziplock bag. Freeze for up to 3 months.
