High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Buttery Soft Brioche Bread

Rich, pillowy, and impossibly tender, this brioche is the kind of bread that makes you wonder why you ever bought a loaf from the store. And when you look at store-bought brioche, you'll almost always find high fructose corn syrup tucked into the ingredient list — it's one of the sneakiest places that sweetener hides. Here, the only sweetness comes from a few tablespoons of plain granulated sugar, so you know exactly what's going into every golden slice. The magic is in the method: a slow butter incorporation builds that signature soft, glossy crumb, while an overnight cold retard in the fridge deepens the flavor without any shortcuts or additives. Four eggs and two full sticks of butter do all the heavy lifting, giving you a loaf that's genuinely rich and bakery-worthy from a short list of clean, recognizable ingredients. The deep chestnut crust, the feathery pull-apart interior, the faint sweetness — it's the kind of bread that disappears fast, so you might want to bake two.
