How to Make Brioche Loaf
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm milk (105-115°F), 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, ½ cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Add the egg mixture to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
- Gradually add 5 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
- Add 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, to the dough. Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes. You can use a stand mixer with a dough hook for this step.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- Cover the loaf pan loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until almost doubled.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
