Cinnamon Brioche: Add a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar to the dough before shaping it for a fragrant, spiced variation.

Vegan Option: Replace the egg with a flaxseed egg (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal mixed with 2 tablespoons water) and substitute the yogurt with a plant-based yogurt.
FAQs:
Q: Can I use Greek yogurt instead of plain yogurt?
A: Yes! Greek yogurt will give the brioche a slightly thicker texture, but it will still work beautifully.
Q: What should I do if my dough doesn’t rise?
A: Ensure your yeast is fresh, and your environment is warm (around 75-80°F or 24-27°C). If the dough still doesn't rise, it might be due to expired yeast or a cold environment.
Q: How can I get a crispier crust on my brioche?
A: To achieve a crisper crust, you can place a small dish of water at the bottom of the oven while baking to create steam, or you can bake the brioche at a slightly higher temperature for the last 5 minutes.
Q: Can I make this recipe without a stand mixer?
A: Absolutely! This is a no-knead recipe, so you only need to mix the dough by hand or with a wooden spoon until the ingredients come together. There's no need for a stand mixer unless you prefer using one.
Enjoy your fluffy and light brioche yogurt, a healthier alternative to the traditional buttery version!
