Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 cups milk
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 tbsp active dry yeast
6 cups flour (may need more, depending on the brand)
6 large eggs
1 tbsp vanilla extract
200 grams unsalted butter
1 egg
3 tbsp water

Steps:

Prepare ingredients for brioche bread.
Combine the warm (110°F) milk with yeast, sugar, and two cups of flour. Whisk the ingredients together. Cover the bowl with a towel and set it aside in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs together. Add eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter to the dough mixture. Whisk in the remaining flour in small portions.
Knead the dough by hand or in a stand mixer until it becomes elastic. This will take about 10-15 minutes. Cover the dough and let it rise for about an hour.
Remove the dough from the bowl and divide it into two even pieces. Next, divide each piece into three pieces. Roll each piece out into a long rope. Connect the ends of the ropes together and braid them.
Place braided brioche on a lined baking sheet, cover it with a towel, and let it rise for 30 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs and water to create the egg wash. Brush the brioche with the egg wash.
Bake the brioche at 350°F for about 30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown.

You can mix the dough manually or with a stand mixer. Combine the yeast mixture, flour, salt, and cream into a bowl or mixer and mix into a sticky dough, then knead until smooth and tacky. This is a moist dough, so stickiness is normal.The kneading will take around 10-12 minutes in a stand mixer with a dough hook or 15-20 minutes by hand (up to 30 minutes). When ready, the dough should be smooth and velvety.When using a stand mixer, it’s ready when you can lift the dough hook, and the dough lifts cleanly from the bowl.
Leave the dough to rise in the bowl for an hour in a warm location, covered well with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel.If it’s winter or you live somewhere where it’s cold, you can preheat the oven to its lowest temperature, switch off the oven, and leave the dough to rise in the off oven. During this time, it will double (or even triple) in size.
Transfer the risen dough to a lightly floured surface and cut it into 4 equal pieces. You can do this "exactly" by measuring each piece. However, you can also do this by eye.
