Seed Oil Free Brioche Loaf

Rich, pillowy, and impossibly tender, this brioche loaf is the kind of bread that makes you want to clear your whole Sunday afternoon just to bake it. The ingredient list is refreshingly clean — whole milk, eggs, real butter, flour, sugar, and salt — with absolutely no vegetable, canola, or soybean oil anywhere in sight. That generous amount of unsalted butter is what gives brioche its signature soft crumb and golden richness, and here it does exactly that job without any industrial oil substitutes sneaking in. The process is a slow, rewarding one: a long cold retard in the refrigerator overnight deepens the flavor and firms the dough so it bakes up with a beautifully even, feathery interior. Those four dough balls arranged in the pan create that classic pull-apart top that looks stunning straight out of the oven, burnished to a deep chestnut brown by a simple egg yolk and milk wash. Sliced thick and eaten warm, this loaf is extraordinary on its own — but it also makes transcendent toast, French toast, or the base for a truly indulgent sandwich.
