• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
• 2 large eggs

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 cup plus 1 to 3 tablespoons milk or almond milk
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
   Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray or line it with foil and then spray for easy removal.
2. Cinnamon Sugar Apple Mix:
   In a bowl, mix brown sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon; set it aside. Toss the chopped apples with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and the remaining teaspoon of cinnamon in another bowl.
3. Butter and Sugar Cream:
   Using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter and the remaining 2/3 cup granulated sugar until smooth and creamy (approximately 5 minutes). Beat in eggs one at a time, blending after each addition, and then add the vanilla extract.
4. Dry Ingredients:
   Whisk together flour and baking powder in a separate bowl. Add this mixture to the creamed butter, beating until well blended. Mix in 1/2 cup of milk until the batter is smooth.
5. Layering:
   Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan, then add half of the chopped apple mixture. Sprinkle half of the brown sugar/cinnamon mixture over the apple layer. Repeat with the remaining batter, apples, and brown sugar/cinnamon mixture.
6. Baking:
   Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, which should take around 1 hour and 10 minutes.
7. Glaze:
   Mix powdered sugar with 1 to 3 tablespoons of milk to achieve your preferred glaze thickness.
8. Finishing Touch:

Bringing Your Dreams to Life

Now, let’s dive into the step-by-step process of making this authentic brioche bread. We’ll guide you through each stage, so don’t worry if you’re new to bread-making. We’ve got you covered.

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup heavy cream (at room temperature)
• 1 cup milk (plus 1 tablespoon, at room temperature; you can use whole, 1%, or 2% milk)
• 1 large egg (at room temperature)
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 4 cups all-purpose flour (you can also use 1/2 cup cake flour combined with 3 1/2 cups bread flour)
• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast (or instant yeast)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• Egg wash (beat 1 egg with 1 teaspoon water)
• Simple syrup (1 tablespoon sugar, dissolved in 1 tablespoon hot water)

Instructions

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment, add the ingredients in the following order: heavy cream, milk, egg, sugar, cake flour, bread flour, yeast, and salt. Turn on the mixer to “stir” and knead for 15 minutes, occasionally stopping the mixer to push the dough together. If the dough is sticking to the sides of the bowl, add a little more flour 1 tablespoon at a time until it pulls away from the sides (it should be sticking to the bottom of the mixing bowl, but not the sides). If kneading by hand, extend the kneading time by 5-10 minutes.
2. Next, cover the dough with a damp towel, and place it in a warm spot until it doubles in size (approximately 1-2 hours). We proof our dough in a closed microwave with a mug of just-boiled water next to it.
3. In the meantime, grease two baking vessels on all sides with butter. You can use two standard loaf pans, two 9-inch (23cm) round pans, or 1 loaf pan and 1 round pan.
4. After the dough has doubled in size, put it back in the mixer and stir for another 5 minutes to get rid of air bubbles. Dump the dough on a lightly floured surface and cut it in half.
5. To make loaves, shape each dough half into a rough rectangular shape, cut it cross-wise into three roughly equal pieces, and place in the loaf pan. Alternatively, you can cut each dough half into 8 pieces, roll them into balls (or ropes that you can twist into buns), and put them in a round pan. You can also make 2 loaves, 16 rolls, or 1 loaf and 8 rolls. Once shaped, let the dough proof, covered, for another hour.
6. Position a rack in the center of the oven, and preheat it to 350° F/175°C. Brush the risen dough with egg wash. Bake for 23-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and brush the warm bread with sugar water to give it shine and sweetness.

Enjoy the delightful and fluffy milk brioche rolls! They are perfect for breakfast or for enjoying with a cup of tea in the afternoon. Indulge in the soft, buttery texture and the sweet aroma.
