Brioche Nanterre

Brioche Nanterre is a classic French breakfast bread, characterized by its rich, buttery flavor and soft, fluffy texture. Perfectly golden-brown and delightful when served warm, it's an indulgent treat for any morning.

Ingredients

• all-purpose flour - 250 grams
• active dry yeast - 7 grams
• milk - 125 ml, warm
• unsalted butter - 50 grams, softened
• sugar - 30 grams
• salt - 5 grams
• eggs - 2 large, at room temperature
• vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm milk and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt, mixing well.
3. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the yeast mixture, eggs, softened butter, and vanilla extract.
4. Mix the ingredients until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
6. Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 6 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball.
7. Place 3 balls into each of two greased loaf pans (or one larger pan), ensuring they are snug but not overcrowded.
8. Cover the pans again with a damp cloth and let the dough rise for another 30-40 minutes until puffy.
9. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
10. Bake the brioche for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 90°C (194°F).
11. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
