Brioche
Buttery, faintly sweet, and tender.
Lens analyzedBrioche is an enriched French bread made with butter and eggs worked into the dough, giving it a soft, slightly sweet crumb and a shiny golden crust. It's used for everything from breakfast rolls to French toast and burger buns.
Where it comes from
Brioche developed in France, likely in Normandy, as a richer alternative to plain bread once butter and eggs were worked directly into the dough rather than saved for spreading or glazing separately.
Buying it
Look for a glossy, deep golden crust, usually from an egg wash, and a loaf that gives softly when pressed rather than feeling dense or dry.
Storing it
Keep it at room temperature in its bag and eat it within the short window on the package, since the butter and egg content make it stale faster than a lean loaf.
Keeps about 5 days in the pantry.
