Ingredients

• 300 grams All-purpose flour
• 7 grams Instant yeast
• 125 milliliters Low-fat milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 large Egg white
• 30 grams Honey
• 40 grams Unsalted butter
• 5 grams Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, and salt. Mix gently to distribute the ingredients evenly.

Step 2

In a separate microwave-safe bowl, warm the low-fat milk until it is lukewarm (about 38°C or 100°F). Stir in the honey to dissolve.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the eggs and egg white together, then add them to the milk mixture, stirring well to combine.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon until a rough dough comes together.

Step 5

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Add the unsalted butter to the dough in small increments, kneading well after each addition, until the butter is fully incorporated, and the dough is soft and slightly shiny.

Step 7

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover it with a clean, damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1.5 hours or until it has doubled in size.

Step 8

Once risen, punch down the dough and knead it briefly to remove any air bubbles.

Step 9

Shape the dough into a loaf by flattening it into a rectangle, then rolling it tightly. Place the roll seam side down into a lightly greased loaf pan.

Step 10

Cover the loaf pan with the damp cloth again and allow it to rise for an additional 45 minutes.

Step 11

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 12

Bake the brioche in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 14

Slice the cool brioche into thick slices to serve. Toast them in a toaster or on a grill pan, if preferred, to enjoy the delicate buttery flavor enhanced by gentle toasting.
