Brioche ( French sweet bread I)

Brioche is a pastry, whose origin is from a region named Normandie in France. The Brioche dough seems to exist since the Medieval period. It's something similar to sweet buns. Here's the recipe for the homemade Brioche:

Ingredients:
325 g = 1 egg and milk
8g fresh yeast
500 g all purpose flour
75g sugar
6g vanilla sugar
1 tsp salt
50 g butter cubed and softened
1 whipped egg for basting Ingredients:

Method:

Take the wheat flour in a bowl and mix with the salt. Make a hole in the middle, add sugar, butter, yeast, vanilla sugar, the egg and the milk and knead well for about 15 minutes. A robot can be used indeed to do this kneading ( Take care not to let the yeast get directly in contact with the salt)
When the dough is ready, separate it into 3 equal parts & form 3 balls out of it.
Arrange them tightly in a cake tray.
Reserve closed at room temperature for about one and a half hours & let it double the volume. Baste the top with the whipped egg , moisten the oven (if using electric) by sprinkling some water, and bake at 180°C for about 15 to 20 minutes.Here’s the result!

Sending this to Sindhura's Sandwich Event for all.
