This recipe was taught to me by my dear friend Véronique, while visiting with her in France some years ago. It took me a while to get the flour, oven, etc right, but if you follow the directions, you will get a beautiful soft buttery brioche which can be eaten with your favourite jam for breakfast, or served with foie gras and jelly for an entree. I use my bread maker and mix the dough using the Dough setting, however it can be mixed for 15 minutes using an electric mixer with a suitable dough hook, if doing this, make sure your butter is very soft.

Glaze brioche with egg wash and put in oven.
Place the loaf into cold oven oven and turn temperature to 150°C (fan-forced). When oven reaches temperature, bake for 15 minutes.
