Ingredients

• 400 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
• 10 grams Psyllium husk powder
• 10 grams Instant yeast
• 5 grams Xanthan gum
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 100 grams Unsalted butter, softened
• 4 units Large eggs
• 200 ml Whole milk
• 5 grams Salt
• 1 unit Egg yolk, for egg wash
• 15 ml Water, for egg wash

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, psyllium husk powder, instant yeast, xanthan gum, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate small saucepan, gently warm the milk (do not boil) until it's lukewarm. If too hot, let it cool slightly.

Step 3

Add the eggs and butter to the dry ingredients, followed by the lukewarm milk. Mix using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium speed until the dough is smooth and well combined, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 5

After the dough has risen, grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Punch down the dough gently to release any air bubbles, then transfer it into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 6

Cover the loaf with a kitchen towel and allow it to rise again for 30 minutes or until it reaches the rim of the pan.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and 15 ml of water to make the egg wash.

Step 9

Gently brush the top of the risen loaf with the egg wash for a golden crust.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 11

Remove the brioche from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
