Brioche Bread Recipe
Report
Homemade Brioche Bread Recipe, a fantastic French treat that is light, fluffy and so easy to make. It has the subtle sweet taste of a pastry, but the texture of a light dinner roll. It can be served with both sweet and savoury dishes, or just toasted with butter and jam. The bread can be plaited as a bread, or shaped into buns and served with hamburgers. This French brioche is such a treat.

Ingredients
- 250 g Strong white bread flour (add more if necessary - 25-50 grams more)
- 125 ml milk
- 2 teaspoon dried fast-action yeast
- 20 g butter, at room temperature
- 2 eggs
- 50 g sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Warm up the milk (not hot to touch), add the yeast, and give it a good stir to dissolve.
- Leave to rest for 1 minute.
- Sift the flour in a large bowl, add the sugar, salt, butter and one egg, then pour over the yeast mixture.
- Knead everything together to get a smooth elastic dough does not stick to the hands - you might need to add more flour - up to 25-50 grams more.
- Cover the bowl with clingfilm, and leave to prove in a warm place for 2 hours, or until the dough is double in size.
- Divide the dough into 3 parts, and roll each part into a sausage, then plait them together.
- Butter and flour a tin loaf, place the plaited brioche in, and leave to prove in a very low oven for 30 minutes - my oven's lowest temperature is 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit).
- Remove the tin from the oven, brush with beaten egg, then turn the temperature up to 180 degrees Celsius (360 Fahrenheit).
- Bake on the middle rack for 20 minutes until the top is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, and leave to cool. To remove from the tin, run a sharp knife around the edges, it should come out easily.
