Method

1. Butter your loaf tin or brioche mould.
2. Using either a food processor or by hand, knead the plain flour and butter together to create a thick dough. 
3. Stir in the salt, sugar and yeast to the mixture. Next, add the 3 eggs and knead for 2 minutes until the dough is soft.
4. Place the kneaded dough into your loaf tin, smooth side up. Leave to rise for 1 hour in a warm environment until it has doubled in size.
5. Pre-heat the oven to 200⁰ C
6. Beat the egg yolk in a small bowl. Using a pastry brush, glaze the dough before putting into the oven. Bake for 20minutes until golden brown.
7. Tip the brioche bread out on to a cooling rack. Once left to stand for 10 minutes, and your homemade brioche is ready to serve.
8. Whether you’re using it as a side for soup, a solo snack topped with jam, or creating a meal with topped garlic mushrooms or pâté, there are endless ways to team up your homemade brioche bread.
