Recipe for brioche bread

Brioche is a famous French pastry that dates back to the sixteenth century. This product does not lose its relevance even today, and this is not surprising. The brioche successfully combines ingredients that make the dough extremely easy to prepare, kneads quickly, and does not stick to your hands. And the brioche itself remains airy, flavorful, and doesn't get stale for several days.
