Macadamia Free Gluten Free Brioche

Brioche is one of those breads that feels almost impossibly luxurious — golden, buttery, and tender in a way that makes every slice feel like a treat. This version achieves that same rich, pillowy crumb using a blend of white rice flour, tapioca starch, and potato starch, with xanthan gum doing the structural work that gluten would normally handle. The technique mirrors classic brioche method closely: you build the dough first, then slowly work in softened butter piece by piece until the mixture turns smooth and glossy. That slow butter incorporation is the real secret to getting the right texture, and a stand mixer makes it completely manageable. An egg wash before baking gives the loaf that signature deep golden crust that looks stunning straight out of the oven. The ingredient list is refreshingly straightforward — eggs, butter, milk, and a few pantry starches — so there's no hunting down specialty items or worrying about hidden tree nuts lurking in a store-bought loaf. Let it cool properly before slicing and you'll be rewarded with a crumb that's soft, springy, and genuinely worth the wait.
