Brioche
Brioche is the most decadent of breads! Beautifully rich and buttery, it has a tight texture more similar to cake than bread with just a hint of sweetness, making it versatile for both sweet and savoury applications, like terrines, bread & butter pudding, and baked Alaska.

Brioche

Makes: 1 loaf

Ingredients

250g cake flour, sifted
1 tsp instant dry yeast
40g caster sugar
A pinch of salt
1/2 cup (115g) softened unsalted butter, plus extra to grease the tin
3 tbsp warm water
3 eggs

GLAZE:
1 egg yolk whisked with 1 tbsp milk

Directions

Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, yeast, sugar and salt. With the mixer on low speed, add the butter, followed by the water. Next add the eggs one at a time, mixing very well after each addition.

Exchange the paddle attachment for the dough hook and slowly knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic.

Shape the dough and place in a well-buttered loaf tin. Cover with a damp tea towel and leave in a warm spot until it has risen to at least double in size.

Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 190ºC.

Using a pastry brush, carefully glaze the top of the loaf before placing in the middle shelf of your oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes until just nicely browned. Allow to cool before slicing.
