3 Egg Brioche

Makes 1.5 pound loaf.

3 large eggs 

1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, softened 

1/3 cup milk (70º to 80ºF)

 3 tablespoons water (70º to 80ºF) 

3/4 teaspoon salt 

3 cups bread flour

2 tablespoons sugar 

1 1/2 teaspoons bread machine yeast (NOT rapid rise)

Directions: 1 Measure all ingredients into bread machine pan in the order suggested by manufacturer. .... wet ingredients first.. Make a well with your finger in flour and put the yeast in the well.

2 Process on basic/white bread cycle; use light or medium/normal crust color setting. Recipe makes 1.5 pound loaf.  I used the setting for the 2 pound and it turned out great!!!

 3 Cool in pan for 20 minutes then put on cooking rake until cool to bag.

The loaf is quite large so I cut it in half to make two small loaves.

This recipe is from Fleischmann's Yeast company. It makes wonderful french toast and stays moist longer then your standard white bread, that gets dry by the next day.
