    Brioche dough is very well suited to a bread machine because it's so oily and sticky.

    I've modified the recipe a little bit by spraying my dough with Pam or possibly other cooking spray instead of water for step #6, and then covering it with plastic wrap for the rising process.

    I also make it into 12 individual round (not shaped) rolls, baked in oiled muffin tins, instead of following the instructions to make 8 classic Brioche shapes

    These little rolls very rich and very tasty.
