Let me tell you something. This brioche is about as good as I've ever had it: tender, buttery, a little sweet, lightly tangy. Frankly this bread should be illegal. And to think I made it in my own kitchen with my own two hands. Sounds sappy, but that's how I feel. That's the good news. The OTHER good news is I'm celebrating with this over-the-top grilled cheese sandwich. I'm 18 pounds slimmer and at my goal weight, so this makes it day two of maintenance! Yeah? A sandwich like this is about all I can have for the day, given everything (even on maintenance). Who really cares for today. Who really cares. So I ate it for breakfast.

It’s alive!
Brioche starter bubbling through the flour blanket.
Sticky Brioche dough.
Brioche dough in the mixer.
Allow the brioche dough rise.
The dough just out of the fridge.
Making the first fold.
The first fold.
Finishing the first fold.
Rounding the dough after the second fold.
Brioche dough folded in thirds.
The dough looked like a snake, fatter on one end and thinner on the other. Or maybe it looks like a garden slug.
The first twist: thin end over fat end.
The single braid complete.
Brioche tucked into the loaf pan.
OMG. So thrilled when I saw this!
It was delicious. Complete deliciousness. Classic Brioche, The Finer Cookie.
