It is best to follow the instructions for your particular bread maker when it comes to the order in which you put your ingredients into the bread pan. However, this is the order in which I put mine, according to my bread-maker, which is a Panasonic.
Sprinkle the dried yeast into the bottom of the bread pan, followed by the flour, salt, castor sugar, the butter, then the eggs beaten with the milk.
Use the basic bread setting for baking your brioche and then leave it to do the work for you!
Once it is baked, leave it for a minute in the bread pan then turn it out and leave to cool on a wire rack.
