Brioche Loaf
6/05/26
Brioche is a delicious golden bread that’s enriched with butter and eggs. It’s absolutely delicious fresh out of the oven, toasted, or made into French toast or bread and butter pudding.
Ingredients
- 400 g white bread flour
- 50 g caster sugar
- 7 g dried yeast
- 2 tsp salt
- 100 ml buttermilk/milk
- 3 eggs
- 175 g soft butter
Method
Grease and line a bread loaf tin. Combine the flour, sugar, yeast, salt, buttermilk & eggs in a bowl until it comes together into a ball. Knead for 8 mins, then add the butter and knead for another 8 mins or until well combined. This is a sticky dough, so a mixer is helpful! Place into a clean, lightly oiled bowl, and allow to rise for 1 hr or until doubled in size.
Next, shape your dough. Cut the dough into 6 equal portions, then roll into balls and add them to a lined loaf tin. This will give you a lovely top that resembles pull-apart bread, rather than a loaf with a flat top. Cover and leave the dough to rise for 30 mins – 1 hr or until doubled in size. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200ºC (180ºC fan).
Once risen, brush the top with egg & bake for 12-20 mins or until golden brown on top.
