Milk Brioche

Print Recipe

A soft, rich bread made with milk, butter, eggs, and sugar, perfect for toast or sandwiches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 packet active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, warm the milk and dissolve the yeast in it. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt.
  3. Add the eggs, softened butter, and the milk-yeast mixture to the flour mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  6. After rising, punch down the dough, then shape it into a loaf.
  7. Place the loaf into a greased bread pan and let it rise again for about 30 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  9. Brush the top of the loaf with a beaten egg for shine.
  10. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.
  11. Let cool before slicing.

Notes

Use room-temperature butter and eggs for easier mixing. Let the loaf cool before slicing to keep texture neat.
