Signature Select Brioche Bread
What it is
This is a rich and tender loaf of brioche bread. It is made with a high proportion of eggs and butter, which gives it a distinctively soft texture and a slightly sweet, eggy flavor. The dough is often enriched with milk as well, contributing to its luxurious mouthfeel. It bakes into a golden-brown crust that is both delicate and slightly chewy.
How people cook with it
Brioche is a versatile bread that can be used in both sweet and savory applications.
- French toast
- Sandwich bread
- Burger buns
- Dessert base
Slice the brioche loaf to your desired thickness. For sweet dishes, it makes an exceptional base for French toast or bread pudding, soaking up custards beautifully. Savory uses include crafting gourmet sandwiches or serving as soft, slightly sweet buns for burgers and sliders. It can also be toasted and served alongside meals or used to make croutons for salads and soups. Its richness complements both delicate and robust flavors.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to standard white bread, brioche contains significantly more butter and eggs. This results in a softer, more tender crumb and a richer, slightly sweet flavor profile. Its texture is less dense and more yielding than many other enriched breads.

How to keep the rest
