Orange blossom water brioches (Brioche a la fleur d'oranger)

I love brioches and here is other brioche's recipe, from Mimí of  her Blog Manger, I love Mimí recipes, simple and delicious and she is absolutely nice.

These brioches were amazing and perfect I love with some apricot jam:)

Ingredients

2 cups 3/4 plain flour (300 g.
2 eggs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 pack of baker's yeast (10 g)
1/3 cup + 1 tbs  butter (cubed at room temperature)
1 tbsp butter (for moulds)
1 pinch of salt
1/3 cup lukewarm milk 
2 tablespoon orange blossom water
2 tablespoon lukewarm water to dissolve yeast
1 egg for glazing 

Note: I use little moulds but you can use a traditional brioche mould or in other.

Method
Dissolve the yeast in a small bowl with 2 tablespoon of lukewarm water. Set aside for 5-10 minutes or until it turns frothy.In a large bowl mix sifted flour, salt, sugar, yeast and butter. Add eggs, orange blossom water and milk gradually and mix well with a big wooden spoon. 
Start kneading until you get a smooth ball shaped dough, about 8 - 10 minutes.
Cover bowl with a cloth and leave to rise in a warm room about 3 hours or overnight.
Start kneading the dough on a non floured surface, just to to get rid of a few trapped air bubbles, about 1-2 minutes.
Line the moulds with butter and place the dough inside the moulds . Cover with a cloth again and leave to rise for about 1 
hour.
Preheat the oven to 180°c/350°F. With the help pf a brush,glaze the surface of the brioche with the egg.
Bake for 30 minutes. If the top starts brown too much, place a sheet of parchment paper to protect.
Let chill by a while but are lovely warm!
