Brioche de Nanterre is a rich, soft, buttery bread that has been adapted to be dairy-free without sacrificing its delightful texture and flavor. It makes for a perfect breakfast or indulgent snack, lightly toasted or enjoyed as is.

Ingredients

• Bread flour - 250 grams
• Instant yeast - 5 grams
• Sugar - 30 grams
• Salt - 5 grams
• Almond milk - 100 ml
• Vegetable oil - 40 ml
• Aquafaba (chickpea brine) - 30 ml

Steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the almond milk, vegetable oil, aquafaba, and vanilla extract until well combined.
3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
4. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes on a floured surface until it is smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

7. Shape each piece into a ball and place them in a greased loaf pan, arranging them in two rows of three.
8. Cover the pan with a cloth and let it rise again for about 30 minutes.
9. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
10. Bake the brioche for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown on top.
