6. Bake to Perfection
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the brioche is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
7. Cool and Enjoy
Let the bread cool on a rack before slicing. Brioche tastes wonderful fresh but also stores well—wrap leftovers tightly or freeze slices for later.
Serving Suggestions
- Slather slices with butter and jam for a perfect breakfast treat.
- Use it for indulgent sandwiches or grilled cheese.
- Make unforgettable French toast or bread pudding with day-old brioche.
Final Tips
Brioche dough is rich and soft, so don’t be discouraged if it feels sticky—it’s supposed to! Kneading well and giving it time to rise are key to that airy texture. And don’t skip the egg wash—it’s what gives brioche its signature golden shine.
With a bit of patience and care, you’ll have a show-stopping loaf that tastes as good as it looks. Ready to bake? Let’s get started on your braided brioche masterpiece!
