How To Make Fluffy Brioche Bread
-
Place the milk, yeast, egg, and 1 cup of flour in the bowl and mix with a spatula until combined.
-
Sprinkle the remaining cup of flour on top and let it rest for 30 minutes.

After that check there are cracks in the flour.
-
Add the sugar, salt, eggs, and 1 cup of the flour to the sponge. Fit the bowl on your stand mixer, and mix for 1 minute, until the dough starts to come together. After that add the remaining 1/2 cup of flour.
-
After that mix for 15 minutes in grinder. After 10 minutes have passed, if the dough seems too loose, add 3 additional tablespoons of flour, to help the dough form into a cohesive piece.
-
Now add the butter, a couple pats at a time, waiting until each installment of butter is absorbed before adding the next. When all the butter has been added, mix for 5 minutes with your grinder. The dough will be soft and slightly sticky.

Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap, and let it rest for 2 hours, until it has doubled in size.
-
Using a spatula, gently turn the dough upside down and compact it back to its original volume.
-
Cover the bowl again and put it in the refrigerator overnight.
-
With a sharp knife, gently slice your dough into 3 sections. Cut each section into 6 pieces. You may gently roll those pieces into balls.
-
Take a pan for baking and grease them.Place 6 balls each into each pan, then cover with plastic wrap. Let rise for 2 hours.
-
When you are ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375F, and bake the loaves for about 30 minutes. After that your brioche bread is ready to serve.
