Ingredients
- 150 grams butter or 5.2 oz, plus more for greasing the pan
- 3 egg plus 1 egg yolk for brushing the loaf
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar
- 125 ml milk +1 tablespoon for brushing the loaf
- 25 grams fresh yeast or 2 1/2 teaspoon dry yeast
- 500 grams all-purpose flour plus more for working
Instructions
- DOUGH: In a big bowl, melt butter in a microwave and mix it with eggs, sugar and salt. Warm the milk in a separate bowl and dissolve the yeast in it. Mix it all together and add flour, kneading until the dough is elastic and smooth.
- RISING: Leave the dough to rest for at least 40 minutes, covered with a kitchen towel, until it doubles in size. Prepare the nonstick 11 by 25 cm (5 by 10 inch) bread pan or loaf form. Grease it with butter and sift a bit of flour on it. When the dough has doubled in size, divide it into 10 balls. They should be approximately the size of a tennis ball or smaller. Place them into the bread form in one layer, side by side, pressing a bit, so that they all fit in the form. Leave them for 20 minutes to rise, covered with a kitchen towel.
- BAKING: Preheat the convention oven to 160 °C (320 °F) or a regular oven to 190 °C (370 °F). For the nice crust, brush your French brioche with a mixture of milk and egg yolk before baking. Bake for about 40 minutes in the middle section of a convention oven, until it's golden brown. Enjoy!
Notes
- You can freeze this bread to use it later. It's very delicious when it's fresh, but once it turns stale, it makes the best French toasts!
