Homemade Brioche Bread Step-by-step

This classic brioche recipe makes deliciously buttery and tender French bread.

Start by mixing warm milk, yeast, sugar, flour and eggs into a stiff dough.

Add in lots and lots of softened butter and mix it. This is going to create a very sticky dough. Keep on mixing...

Until glossy and smooth. Let it rise in a warm spot until doubled, then refrigerate overnight.

The next, divide the cold dough into 2. Then shape into 2 loaves. You can either shape it using small dough balls lined up

Or braid the dough.

Once risen again, brush the tops of the dough with egg wash.

Bake until deep golden brown, then let the bread cool down before slicing.

Leftover brioche makes amazing french toast! It can be also be frozen for up to 3 months.
