Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup whey protein isolate
• 1 packet instant yeast
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 4 large eggs
• 0.25 cup warm milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whey protein isolate, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Allow it to cool slightly.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together 3 of the eggs, warm milk, and vanilla extract until combined.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the egg mixture followed by the melted butter.

Step 5

Stir the mixture together until a sticky dough forms.

Step 6

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead by hand for about 10 minutes, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 7

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.

Step 8

Once risen, gently punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.

Step 9

Shape the dough into a rectangle and transfer it to a lined 9x5 inch loaf pan.

Step 10

Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and let the dough rise again until doubled, about 30-45 minutes.

Step 11

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 12

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining egg and water to make an egg wash.

Step 13

Brush the top of the dough with the egg wash evenly.

Step 14

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

Step 15

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