Description

A rich, buttery French bread with a tender crumb and slightly sweet flavor. Perfect for breakfast, sandwiches, or French toast.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup warm milk (110°F)
  • 5 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened and cut into pieces
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp water (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk and let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt.
  3. Add the yeast mixture and eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface or with a stand mixer for about 10 minutes, gradually adding the softened butter, a few pieces at a time, until fully incorporated and the dough is smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down the dough, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best flavor.
  7. Divide the chilled dough into desired shapes (loaf or rolls) and place in a greased loaf pan or brioche mold.
  8. Cover and let rise again for 1-2 hours, or until doubled.
  9. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Beat the remaining egg with 1 tbsp water and brush over the dough.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
  11. Cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Chilling the dough overnight develops better flavor and texture.
  • Use high-quality butter for the best taste.
  • Great for making French toast or bread pudding with leftovers.
