Brioche or Rich White Bread for the Bread Machine

Funny story about the day I baked this bread. My friend Elaine has a new podcast to help bloggers called Dishing with Delishes! It is very informative and the day I baked this bread I was listening to her podcast with Casey Markee, from MediaWyse, a very well known SEO expert! He was so interesting (and I forgot to set the oven timer), that I nearly burned my brioche! I ran in at the very last minute! Tragedy narrowly averted! If you are a blogger, you really should check out this podcast! Just remember to set the timer!! 🙂

I love using a bread machine to mix up my dough, knead it and let it rise. I set it on the dough cycle and when it’s done, I just place loaves in bread pans, cover them and let them rise one more time in a warm place. I hate the shape of the bread that my machine makes and I also hate that 2 pieces on the end have a huge whole in the middle from the paddle. Once the dough has risen again, brush them with a bit of melted butter and bake in the oven. They come out the way bread is supposed to look!

Do you have bread maker? Here is a link for the one I have. It has lasted me over 20 years and I use it often! Even in the summer I make pizza dough and cook the pizza on the grill so I don’t have to heat up the house! It is a bit bulky but saves so much effort, it is worth losing the space on the counter!

I hope you enjoyed the post today for this Brioche Recipe! Here is another perfect bread machine recipe for English Muffins! And here is one for Rye Bread!

Enjoy! And have fun cooking!

Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups warm milk
  • 3 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 cups flour
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 2 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
Instructions

  1. Warm milk to between 105-115°F. Place ingredients in the bread maker in the order given.

  2. Turn bread maker on dough only mode.

  3. Use no stick spray or butter to grease 2 bread pans.

  4. When dough has risen in bread machine, remove it onto a floured cutting board. Knead dough to remove all of the air. Cut the dough in half. Form each into loaf shapes. Place in prepared pans, seam side down. 

  5. Turn oven on low and set breads near the vent to rise again. Usually about 30 minutes. Until dough almost reaches the top of the bread pans. Increase oven temperature to 400°F.

  6. If you want a crispy crust, brush the top of the loaves with cold water. For a softer crust, brush the top with melted butter or a bit of oil.

  5. Brioche is such a lovely light bread, perfect served warm with a little butter and homemade jam. Baking bread is a funny thing, to get the timing just right. So easy to go that little overtime; am glad you caught it before you ended up with a loaf of charcoal.

  6. I love brioche! Especially homemade! When I moved from CA back to the east coast, I sold my bread maker since we were driving all our stuff across country. I miss it and need to get another! This is a great recipe Beth and I really look forward to making it. I’ll have to do all the kneading myself though 🙂 . And thanks also for the shout out to my podcast!

  7. I never would have thought you could make brioche in a bread machine. Do people still use bread machines? It seems like I haven’t seen them for a while. I never owned one, but I LOVE making bread every now and again!

  8. I love kneading my bread, it’s so rewarding and therapeutic. I assume a bread maker it’s a lot easier. A great recipe, I’ll get kneading soon. I just love brioches. Yumm! This makes me hungry right now. Nothing compares with home bread making. Oh, that smell …. amazing. 👌🤤

    • Without a doubt, one of the best smells in the world! I don’t mind kneading but the machine make it easier to set it and forget it for an hour and a half! Thanks, Ramona!

  9. I really should bake more bread at hme, this looks glorious… I don’t because neither my wife or I have any self control so whole loaves tend to ‘disappear’ before they have even cooled 😮

  10. My podcast was so interesting that I “almost” caused you to burn your brioche??? I can’t think of a better compliment. LOL.

    Thanks so much for listening to the podcast and I hope it was helpful. This bread looks amazing. Keep up the great work!
