Mustard Free Gluten Free Brioche

Rich, buttery brioche is one of those breads that feels almost impossibly luxurious, and this version delivers that same soft, golden crumb without a trace of gluten or mustard. A blend of white rice flour, tapioca starch, and potato starch does the heavy lifting in place of wheat, while xanthan gum gives the dough the structure it needs to rise beautifully and hold together when sliced. The real magic happens when you work the softened butter into the dough piece by piece — it's a classic enriched-bread technique that results in a smooth, glossy dough and that signature tender, pillowy texture. Mustard and mustard-derived ingredients have a sneaky way of turning up in store-bought specialty breads as a flavor enhancer or dough conditioner, so baking from scratch with this straightforward ingredient list keeps things clean and worry-free. The egg wash brushed on just before baking gives the loaf that deep, burnished crust that makes brioche so visually stunning straight out of the oven. Let it cool fully before slicing — the crumb is still setting as it rests, and the patience pays off in clean, even slices that are perfect for everything from French toast to a simple spread of good butter.
