Nutrition Information
ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 cup sugar
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons yeast
- 8 tablespoons butter, cold and cut into chunks
- 3 eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- 1⁄2 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1⁄3 cup water
directions
- Combine dry ingredients in workbowl of food processor. Process for five seconds.
- Add butter and 3 whole eggs. Process for 10 seconds.
- With the machine running, pour, don't drizzle, 1/2 cup milk and 1/3 cup water into the mixture. Process for 30 seconds.
- The dough will be very wet and sticky, almost like a batter.
- Grease a large bowl with butter and scrape the dough into it. Cover with plastic and let the dough rise 2-3 hours, until doubled.
- Deflate the dough, shape into loaves (using only a little flour to coat your hands) and place in 2 buttered 8x4" loaf pans for two smallish loaves.
- Alternatively, use one 5x9" loaf pan for a single big loaf.
- Let rise one hour.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Mix reserved 2 tbs milk and egg yolk and brush the tops of the loaves with this mixture. Bake the brioche for about 30 minutes, until slightly browned.
