Glutenfree Brioche that makes marvellous glutenfree French Toast

I don't know how some people can live carbfree. People ask me how horrible it actually is to be glutenfree, I would love to ask that same question to people who do without carbs. To me it must be pure torture as I love bread and I couldn't live without it. One of my favorite breads is Brioche. The softness of the bread, the buttery taste, I adore it. With preserve, lemon curd or Gouda cheese it is better than any pastry to me.
It took me a while to find the right recipe for glutenfree Brioche, but I've found it. Now we can have a wonderful breakfast with the family enjoying this little piece of heaven just as it is, or... slice it up and make the most delicious glutenfree French Toast. Ever. No lie!

Ingredients

• 500 grams (1 lb 2 oz) of plain glutenfree flour
• Half a teaspoon of iodized salt
• 20 grams (0.75 oz) of vanilla sugar
• 2 dl (7 fl oz) of lukewarm milk
• 125 grams (4.5 oz) of soft butter. Do not settle for anything less than butter!!
• 3 eggs
• 30 grams (1.125 oz) of yeast
• 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon of fiberhusk

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 50 degrees Centigrade (122 degrees Fahrenheit) and put a bowl of water in the oven. This will help the dough to proof. 
2. Mix the flour with the salt and vanilla sugar. 
3. Add fiberhusk and xanthan gum, followed by the lukewarm milk, eggs and softened butter. 
4. Mix everything with an electric mixer into a firm dough. Be aware, glutenfree dough needs to be a bit moist, otherwise it won't proof as well and you will get a compact bread. 
5. Now add the yeast and mix again.
6. Butter a breadpan and transfer the dough into the pan. Even it out and put it in the preheated oven for an hour to let the dough proof. 
7. After that hour take bread out of the oven, turn up the heat to 160 degrees Centigrade (325 degrees Fahrenheit)  and when the oven is on temperature, put it back into the oven for about 25 minutes till it is golden. 
8. Take it out of the oven, beat an eggyolk and immediately spread that over top of the bread with a kitchenbrush. 
9. Take it out of the breadpan and let it cool.
