Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams all-purpose flour
- 7 grams instant yeast
- 120 milliliters skim milk
- 40 grams granulated sugar
- 5 grams salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg white
- 40 grams unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Warm the skim milk slightly until lukewarm (about 38°C or 100°F).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lukewarm milk with 1 teaspoon of the sugar and the instant yeast. Stir lightly and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Add the remaining sugar, salt, egg, egg white, and vanilla extract to the yeast mixture. Whisk thoroughly to combine.
Gradually mix in the flour, one cup at a time, stirring continuously until a dough begins to form.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Add small chunks of the softened butter to the dough, kneading it in until fully incorporated.
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl, covering it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Allow it to rise in a warm, draft-free place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release the gas, and transfer it to a lightly floured surface.
Shape the dough into a rectangle, approximately 1.5 inches thick. Place it into a greased or parchment-lined loaf pan.
Cover the dough loosely with a towel and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until it has risen just above the edge of the pan.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Bake the brioche in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
