Celery Free Buttery Brioche

Rich, pillowy, and impossibly tender, this brioche is the kind of loaf that makes you want to linger over breakfast a little longer. The dough gets its gorgeous structure from slow butter incorporation and two patient rises, resulting in that signature soft crumb and deep golden crust that pulls apart in the most satisfying way. A flax egg stands in for a traditional whole egg, binding everything together naturally without any complicated substitutions or specialty products. Since celery and celery derivatives have a way of sneaking into packaged breads through flavorings and seasoning blends, baking from scratch with straightforward pantry staples is genuinely the cleanest route. Every ingredient here is exactly what it says it is — flour, butter, milk, yeast, and a little sugar — so you know precisely what's going into each slice. Serve it warm with good butter, use it for French toast, or just tear into it straight from the cooling rack. Once you've made it yourself, store-bought brioche is going to have a hard time competing.
