Brioche Bread

• 1 sachet of fast acting yeast (Briochin in France, not traditional, not de boulanger)

• 500g T45 flour (that's cake making flour, not bread flour)

• 75g castor sugar (sucre cristallisé)

• 1 sachet vanilla sugar (sucre vanillé) or ¼ tsp vanilla extract (not essence, yuk )

• 60g diced butter

• 1tsp salt (keep away from sugar and yeast in the mixing bowl)

• 2 large eggs / 3 medium, beaten in a measuring jug

• 1tbsp orange flower water (eau de fleur d'oranger) (can be replaced with same of rhum) mixed with the beaten eggs

• enough cold milk to bring top the egg mix in the jug to 340ml

The liquid must not exceed 340ml in total.

Bake as a basic white loaf, light crust (as the sugar will brown the top), XLG size. The brioche will rise a lot.
