Brioche Style Loaf

This loaf recipe is adapted from Puffy Gal’s Brioche Rolls post (https://www.lonjevity-foods.com/forum/recipes/brioche-style-rolls).

I made the first few batches by mixing the dough in the bread machine on the dough setting, then proofing dough in the loaf tin for an hour before baking in the oven for 20 mins at 180°.

When my results continued to turn out light and soft in texture, I decided to try putting the ingredients in the bread machine and letting it go the whole hog.

Based on my previous results with a start to finish loaf in the machine, I was quite surprised by how it turned out. I used the “sweet dough” setting, and the loaf rose even more than my oven version and was lighter and softer. Toast really well too.
