"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."

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

directions

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

This turned out perfectly! I made one small adjustment by adding an extra tablespoon of water (the ambient air humidity was around 25% so I thought a little extra would be a good idea). Otherwise, exactly to recipe, including adding the butter as instructed in the recipe. It was light yet rich and full of a nice buttery, melt in the mouth flavour. I thought it would be good, but this exceeded my expectations.

This recipe is a bit finicky. It produces a good loaf but: I've made it twice. First time I may have missed the extra 2 T water as, while kneading in the machine, it was way too dry. Adding some water corrected the problem. The second time it was the opposite: a bit too wet. Adding about another T of bread flour as it kneaded did the trick.

Soooo good! I added raisins half way through, and stopped the baking process 10 minutes early (a toothpick test was dry). Soft, good crumb, and not too sweet. Perfect recipe!

I dont know what I messed up. But added precisely the ingredients and the dough was super watery. Had to keep adding a lot more bread flour to make it decent dryness
