I really like the brioche that my mum makes when we go on holiday in France during the summer. It is just a pain to wait 12 months to have some brioche! Decided to get a new bread maker from Panasonic (the old one still had an American plug and we have been back from the USA for 8 years now…)
The Brioche recipe is very good and works very well with the automatic bread maker.
Ingredients :
- 400g White Flour
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- 1.25 Teaspoon Yeast
- 2 eggs mixed with water so that it makes 280g
- 4 Tablespoons of dried milk
- 4 Tablespoons of sugar
- 50g of butter early in the recipe and then 70g of butter later. (cut in 2cm pieces). Make sure butter is cold from the fridge.
How to make :
- Mix all the ingredients (with the first batch of butter). Ideally all of them at room temperature.
- You should get a nice dough ball.
- Then mix the extra butter by kneading for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Leave to rise for a couple of hours.
- Cook in over / breadmaker.
