Gluten-free Brioche loaf (French Butter Bread) - Certified Thermomix person

Butter lover? Want something that's not bread nor it is pastry? Brioche may be your next best friend then. I won't say this is the healthiest thing ever, but French delicatessen have plenty of butter, and it is that same butter that gives the fluffy texture and the amazing taste to this kind of food. Plus it tastes like heaven!
