Brioche: My favourite butter rich bread

 One of my favourite bread is brioche, the richness of it is so unique.

Due to a lot of eggs and butter, this bread is not easy to knead, it's so sticky ^^". Actually I like to knead it by hand (I have very cold hand, well but not cold heart, hehe), but many people find it's time consuming and not fun at all. So I think that I have to give the recipe that use stand mixer, and other people will have a chance to fall in love with this bread too. 
You will need to be patient as it still need a lot of time (but if you don't have to knead it yourself, you can do other thing while waiting, haha). The first step need about 10 minutes to knead the flour and egg together, then add the butter. After that you still need to be patient, hehe. It has to be cold so you will be able to work with it, and 1 hour in the fridge is for this reason. 
After that 2 hours for it to rise until double in size. Well, I know that you want to close this window and start searching for other recipe instead. But, please give this bread a try, the taste and texture of it is so rich and addictive. You can turn it into French toast or bread pudding that has so different than the one that use simple white bread. 
So, please read the recipe (you will see it's easy ^^), and give it a try. I know you will fall it love with it too.
