Description
Brioche is a yeast bread that's so rich, it can be eaten pleasurably with absolutely no adornment at all. Which isn't to say that a tart-sweet raspberry preserve or orange marmalade, or peach jam, Devon cream or butter aren't all welcome additions; simply that a bite of brioche can proudly stand alone.
With all of its butter, this is a difficult dough to develop by hand, and we don't suggest trying it. An electric mixer or bread machine is ideal for the task; if you have access to either of these helpers, don't hesitate to tackle this recipe. It's only a tad more challenging than any other yeast bread recipe, and the results are out of this world.
