Brioche Loaf Bread Machine Recipe Method
To prepare the dough, throw the first seven ingredients into the bread maker. For this recipe, you’re going to use the dough cycle.
While the dough is being prepared, lightly flour a suitable cutting board. When the cycle finishes, put the dough on the board and knead it ten times.
Once the dough is kneaded properly, separate it into three pieces and use your hands to roll it into strips. Take the strips and braid or twist them together. Once braided, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set them on the sheet to rise. For best results, place them in a warm area until they are double the size.
In the meantime, go ahead and pre-heat your oven to 350F degrees. Whisk together the water and egg whites until thoroughly mixed. Once the dough has finishing rising, you will need to brush the egg mixture on top of the loaf.
Place the pan in the oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until it is golden-brown in color.
Be sure to let the bread cool before eating.
Tips on Making the Best Bread Machine Brioche
If the dough is still too dry after mixing all of the ingredients, feel free to add a little extra water until it can be easily shaped. Just be sure to add a little at a time, so the dough does not become too runny.
Although the braided loaf already has a lightly sweet flavor, many people like to add a little more sugar to the dough recipe. This makes the bread perfect for a treat or dessert. Homemade vanilla pudding is a perfect pairing.
There you have it. Whether you are in the mood for a tender brioche loaf to use on sandwiches or a sweeter, more authentic bread to have with dessert, you can make it easily in your bread machine.
No hassle, no exhaustive waiting time, and no having to live without the treat to sate your craving.
