Brioche (in process)

bread

I’m making this recipe https://letthebakingbegin.com/basic-brioche-bread-recipe/

I used 4tbsp sugar (use a lot less next time, it’s too sweet), and milk instead of water. I also used the amount of flour she suggested, by scooping the flour right into the cups (more dense then). It doesn’t really say how to bake this in the machine so I’m just trying the French setting, 2lb, medium and hoping for the best. I’ll add the butter and salt when the machine beeps and report back and see how this went.

On the French setting, the machine will not beep at 10 minutes left in kneading, so simply wait until the machine timer reads 3:15 (signaling that there is about 10 minutes left of kneading time) and slowly add in the butter.

It came out but next time I would cook it on darkness/crust setting “light” rather medium as I think the crust came out a little too dark on medium

Another recipe to try if this doesn’t work out is the WP version https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/all-we-can-eat/post/chat-leftovers-bread-machine-brioche/2012/06/27/gJQAul5k6V_blog.html
