How to Make Bread Machine Brioche Orange Raisin Bread

  1. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add milk, sugar, and salt. Stir until sugar dissolves.
  2. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs.
  4. Gradually whisk the warm butter mixture into the beaten eggs.
  5. Pour the egg and butter mixture into your bread machine pan.
  6. Add the finely chopped orange zest to the bread machine pan.
  7. In a small bowl, combine warm water and raisins. Let sit for 5 minutes to plump raisins. Add to the bread machine pan.
  8. Add flour to the bread machine pan, then sprinkle yeast evenly over the flour.
  9. Select the dough setting on your bread machine and start the cycle.
  10. Once the dough cycle is complete, gently turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Cover and let rest for 5 minutes.
  11. Divide the dough into three equal parts.
  12. Roll each part into a 26-inch rope.
  13. Braid the three ropes together.
  14. Pinch the ends of the braid together to form a ring.
  15. Place the braided ring on a large greased baking sheet.
  16. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 40 minutes, or until almost doubled in size.
  17. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  18. Lightly brush the top of the bread with milk.
  19. Place a foil ball or oven-safe jar in the center of the bread to help maintain its shape during baking.
  20. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
