Eggless Brioche

This is one theme I have been so excited about ever since it was announced. I have been planning to explore the French cuisine forever now and this is just the perfect opportunity. French breads are world famous and even an entire month of baking different French breads wont exhaust the lost but nevertheless, I picked on three popular breads for this month.

The first one is the classic Brioche, which is an enriched bread. Usually eggs are used to enrich the dough but I replaced that with milk and butter which makes a soft and rich bread.
