Bread Machine Brioche

I never thought I would see a recipe for this - a yummy brioche done entirely in the bread machine. This is wonderful for making French toast. Baking time is according to your machine's cycle.

• Ready In: 10 mins
• Yields: 1 loaf

Ingredients

• 1 3⁄4 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1 3⁄4 cups bread flour
• 2  tablespoons bread flour
• 3  tablespoons sugar
• 3⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 2  whole eggs
• 1  egg yolk
• 1⁄4 cup water
• 2  tablespoons water
• 8  tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions

1. Add all ingredients except the butter to your bread machine in the order suggested by manufacturer and process on the basic bread cycle.
2. Cut the butter into tablespoon size pieces.
3. About 10 minutes before the end of your first kneading cycle, begin adding the butter, 1 tablespoon each minute.
4. Do not rush it.
5. Let the machine continue its process.
6. After bread is baked and at the end of the entire cycle, let the brioche cool in the OPENED machine about 20 minutes.
7. This will keep the sides firm while the center stays moist.
