  7. Grease the sides of the bowl with oil/butter and rub some on the dough. Cover with a clean towel and keep in a warm place to double up about one hour.

  9. Grease the baking pan with oil/butter and set it aside. Bring the dough out and shape into your desired shapes, you can form rolls, you can divide the dough into two and make 2 loaves if you would like to braid the dough.

  10. When it’s almost about the time to bake preheat the oven to 350 degrees F for about 15 minutes. When it’s time to bake after the dough has doubled, brush with egg wash (whisk an egg/egg white with water). Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown and the middle is fully baked. I brushed the bread with syrup If you desire to brush the brioche bread with water and sugar syrup (boil water and small sugar until the sugar dissolves). Set the bread aside to cool down for about 10 minutes. Remove and allow to cool down or serve warm.
