As much bread as a pastry, the eggless brioche was simply a beautiful, stunning, gorgeous feast for all the senses. The sight, scent, sound, and feel of every soft, buttery morsel with a crispy golden crust sends you into raptures. But the true sign of a successful brioche is when you can\u2019t wait for the knife and dive directly into the loaf to tear bite-sized chunks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve made brioche rolls<\/a> before, but not a loaf. After I bought one from my usual bakery for the Classic French Toast<\/a>, it got me thinking \u2013 it was high time I baked it at home.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And believe me, nothing compares to what you make at home and what you get in the stores. It\u2019s not merely the taste \u2013 that\u2019s one hundred percent heavenly and did I mention rapturous? It is the glossy dough that feels almost like putty in the hands. You can\u2019t help but interact with it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is brioche?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Brioche<\/a> is a classic French bread. It comes within the Viennoiserie<\/a> category as the dough is yeast-risen. It is also an enriched bread as it contains butter, egg, and milk in godly amounts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dough swallows up far more butter than you think possible. It\u2019s practically like you\u2019re pouring it in. But that\u2019s what forms the super tender, matte crust with a rich, soft, and flaky crumb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did have some misgivings about working with a dough that required so much butter ( so much !!) in this blistering June heat. But despite the high temperatures in my kitchen, it held up nicely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, don\u2019t put off baking a brioche if your corner of the world is equally scorching hot. The dough is a delight to work with. You\u2019ll fall in love with the dough first, the bread second. But I get ahead of myself, back to the recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to make eggless brioche?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I adapted this recipe from Rainbow Nourishment<\/a>. While her loaf is completely vegan, mine is simply eggless and refined sugar-free. If you want a traditional recipe with eggs, see my orange brioche rolls<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can make brioche dough by hand, but if you have a stand mixer, I urge you to hunt it down and use it. It will cut down your effort to a great, great degree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
