Macadamia 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 signature softness from a generous amount of real butter worked in slowly, resulting in that classic feathery crumb and golden, lacquered crust. A flax egg stands in for a traditional whole egg, giving the dough just enough binding power to hold everything together beautifully without changing the flavor. Brioche can feel intimidating, but the stand mixer does the heavy lifting here — the long knead after the butter goes in is what develops that silky, elastic texture you're after. Because every ingredient in this recipe is straightforward and easy to verify, there's no need to scrutinize labels for unexpected nut additions that sometimes sneak into enriched breads from bakeries or grocery stores. Slice it thick for French toast, pull it apart warm with a little extra butter, or use it as the base for the most luxurious sandwich you've ever made.
