Can anyone give me a recipe (I'll describe it because I don't actually know what it's called)

I want to make a buttery, milk based sweet yeasted bread, like a brioche in taste (but I Googled some brioche recipes and they were all rubbing the butter in by hand to give the flakey texture)

I bought a bundt tin to make the Nigella Vanilla Tree cake (but in a ring shaped tin) and though it was sweet and rich when it was warm, by the next day it was heavy like an old claggy pancake Sad. So that was a waste of 6 eggs and a load of butter.

I have EasyBlend Yeast
White Strong Bread flour
Butter
Milk
Vanilla
Sugar
And a KMix stand mixer to do the hard work Grin

TIA Smile

Do you have an aversion to rubbing butter in? is it just laziness?

Bit of both Molly
I don't like butter, I can't stand the smell but I don't mind it cooked.
The brioche is more like when you make proper flakey pastry from what I saw from the recipes.
Roll, butter, roll, knead, so keeping the pockets of butter (bleurgh) in the dough.

I made a batch of cinnamon banana walnut buns in the mixer with the dough-hook. So I was thinking something more vanilla bready -like in the bundt tin (and they were delish) . But I don't think just leaving out the fruit and nuts would work because they're not very sweet.

This is my cheat's version of brioche. You could add more butter and less milk, but I wanted to try to make a lower fat version.
