Can I make vegan brioche?

Yes. Traditional brioche has milk, butter and eggs in it so it is not vegan. However, you can make vegan brioche if you use dairy-free milk and vegan butter and compensate for the help of eggs by adding extra butter and adjusting the amount of yeast.

Brioche is a viennoiserie from French cuisine. Viennoiseries are made in a similar way as regular bread but have a richer taste due to different ingredients added into them. Being a viennoiserie, brioche differs from regular bread with its enriched dough which includes eggs and butter, and slightly sweeter taste. There are also different brioche versions which may include raisins, chocolate chips etc.

Brioche is very healthy. It is very rich in nutrients thanks to its milk, butter and egg content compared to other regular breads.

Directions

  1. Open the lid of the bread maker and remove the pan from the machine by pulling it upward.

  2. Make sure the pan is clean and both kneading paddles are in place.

  3. Add all of the ingredients to the bread pan in the order listed.

  6. Use the “Program” button to select the program #1 for the basic cycle.

  7. Press the “Color” button to choose your desired crust color.

  8. Press the “Size” button to choose the weight of the loaf you are making. The time display will also change as you select the size of the bread since larger loaves take longer time to cook.

  • RECIPE NOTE FOR BRIOCHE:

    The recipe above is to make a plain brioche but you can add raisins, berries, or chocolate chips into the dough to make a richer brioche.

    HOW TO STORE LEFTOVER BRIOCHE:

    It is better to store leftover brioche in the refrigerator since it has eggs in it. You should put it in an airtight container to avoid drying.

    You can also freeze the brioche slices in an airtight container to consume later. They become as fresh as newly baked when you thaw them in the morning.

    WHAT TO MAKE WITH BRIOCHE:

    Brioche is a perfect choice to make sandwiches thanks to its fluffy texture and lightly sweet taste. It is also great to make French toast casserole. If you would like to try making casserole, you can see our air fryer French toast casserole recipe following this link.
