For the best results, I recommend using a kitchen scale to measure ingredients in grams. But if you don’t have a scale, no worries! i have include cup measurements and ounces so you can still follow along. Thanks

Ingredients:
Lukewarm milk- 120ml, ½ cup, 4 oz( If you’re using instant yeast or fresh yeast, use room-temperature milk instead of lukewarm milk)
Active dry yeast- 1.5 tsp, 4.5g
Caster sugar- 3 tbsp, 40g

Flour- 3 tbsp, 25g
Bread flour- 360g, 12.7 oz, 3 cups
Salt- 1 tsp, 5g
Eggs (3 whole +3 yolk only) 195 g, 7 oz (If you want to make this eggless, just swap the eggs for the same quantity of milk.)
Butter- 200g, 7 oz

Baking Pan size- 15.2 × 26.9 × 7.1 cm

Methods:

• Activate yeast if using active dry yeast (Mix with lukewarm milk, sugar, and a little flour )
Skip this step for instant or fresh yeast.
• Mix bread flour and salt. Set aside.
• In a stand mixer, combine flour and yeast mixture.Knead on low speed and add eggs slowly.
• Knead until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.This step develops the gluten.
• Check dough temperature.If warm, chill until it in the fridge.
• Add softened butter gradually, a few pieces at a time.Knead only until the dough looks smooth and shiny.
• Transfer dough to a greased bowl.Refrigerate for 3–4 hours or overnight ( for better flavour)
• Divide dough into six equal pieces.Shape into balls and place in a greased loaf pan.
• Proof until light and puffy(30-45 minutes in summer, up to 2-3 hours in winter).
• Brush gently with egg yolk and milk.
• Bake at 170°C fan-forced for 30 minutes.
• Cool completely before slicing.

Tips:

1-Don’t panic if the dough feels very soft
Brioche dough is naturally tender and slightly sticky because of the eggs and butter. If handling becomes difficult, lightly flour your hands instead of adding flour to the dough( if you are kneading by hand). The texture will improve as it proofs and bakes.

2-Butter texture matters more than you think
Always use butter that is soft and pliable, not cold or melted. Soft butter blends into the dough easily and gives a smoother finish. In cooler weather, let the butter sit in a warm spot until it’s ready.

3-Give the dough time to proof
In cooler rooms, proofing can take close to two hours. If needed, place the dough in a switched-off oven with the light on or in the warmest part of your kitchen to help it rise gently.

4-Stop proofing at the right moment
Let the dough rise until it looks puffy and airy. Over-proofing can affect flavor and structure, so always judge by how the dough looks and feels, not just by the clock.

5-Oily dough is usually a temperature issue
If the dough starts looking greasy while kneading, it’s often due to warm conditions or high humidity. Pause, let the dough cool slightly, then continue kneading until it comes back together smoothly.
