Brioche is a sweet and tender bread of French origin. It stands out for its rounded shape, buttery aroma, and spongy texture, making it one of the most exquisite breads in the world. Many types of bread are considered brioche, such as milk bread or sliced bread, however, our favorite is undoubtedly the one made with butter.
These types of doughs require a little patience, as the presence of butter delays fermentation. It's precisely the slow fermentation that guarantees an unsurpassed tender texture and a super-fragrant dough. If this is your first time making bread at home, you'll discover that watching your dough rise is like meditating—the most relaxing thing on a Sunday morning. Unlike other simpler doughs, this one is quite sticky, so we recommend using a mixer or food processor to prepare it. If you don't have one, you can start with other simpler doughs that don't require kneading, like this exquisite homemade loaf .
This bread is ideal for breakfast, paired with both sweet and savory dishes. It's delicious fresh out of the oven or toasted a few days later, although it's unlikely you'll have any leftover slices.

How to store brioche to keep it fresh
Brioche, like any other dough, dries out over time. To keep it fresh, it's best to wrap it in plastic wrap, leaving no gaps. It's important to let the brioche cool completely before wrapping it to allow steam to escape and prevent the bread from becoming too soggy.
