- Transfer dough onto a silicone bread mat or a lightly floured work surface and shape into a ball. Place dough into a large bowl, cover with a kitchen towel and prove in a warm place for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 200°C. Place dough into prepared tin or shape as desired. Cover and allow dough to prove in a warm place for 30 minutes.

Tips & Tricks
- Instead of using a loaf tin, you can shape dough into a scroll, cob, plait, wreath or free form loaf. Bake on a lined baking tray as per recipe.
- To make an egg wash, whisk 1 egg with 1-2 teaspoons milk.
Variation
- Sweet brioche: increase sugar to 130 g and divide dough into 12 equal pieces. Shape portions into buns, then place onto prepared baking tray and bake for 20 minutes (200°C).
