Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened (use only the best quality butter you can buy please)
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 package active dry yeast (= 2 1/2 tsp)

Directions:

  1. Bread machine recipe:
  2. Add all ingredients in order to your bread machine. Set on the dough cycle. When cycle is done (usually 1 1/2 hours for most bread machines) proceed to step 6
  3. By hand recipe:
  4. Heat the milk in a small saucepan over low heat until it's just warm (110-115F) Remove pan from heat and pour milk into a small bowl. Stir in the yeast and 1 cup of the flour. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rest for 10 min.
  5. Combine the butter, sugar, salt and eggs in a mixer bowl with a paddle attachment (or food processor). Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups flour and process until smooth. Add the yeast mixture and process again until smooth. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  6. Shape the dough into a loaf and place into 8 1/2 or 9 inch non-stick loaf pan. Cover the pan with a clean dish towel and allow rising for about an hour.
  7. Preheat the oven to 375F. Using a sharp knife, score the loaf length wise with a sharp knife. The score the loaf 3 times at equal intervals across. This makes a professional looking loaf and helps it bake evenly (which I forgot to do this step on the brioche in the photo, oops! As you can see, it still turns out fine though)
  8. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until golden. Remove from pan and place the loaf on its side on a cooling rack. Alternate side after 5 minutes (this prevents the loaf from compressing)
