Equipment

1 Stand mixer For kneading the dough
1 Loaf pan For baking

Ingredients

3 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
1/3 cup Granulated sugar
1 tbsp Instant yeast
1/2 tsp Salt
4 large Eggs Room temperature
1/2 cup Whole milk Room temperature
1 cup Unsalted butter Room temperature, cut into pieces

1 large Egg Beaten
1 tbsp Water

Instructions

In a stand mixer bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
Add eggs and milk, and mix on medium speed until the dough comes together.
Gradually add butter, one piece at a time, mixing until fully incorporated.
Mix on medium-high speed for about 6-8 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.

Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf or individual rolls.
Place in a greased loaf pan, cover, and let rise for another 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Brush the top with egg wash, and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Let brioche cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For an added touch, you can incorporate chocolate chips or dried fruits into the dough before the second rise.
