These brioche muffins or loaf are a twist on the classic bread, and are perfect for a breakfast treat or brunch. They can be served with jam or honey, or enjoyed on their own with a cup of coffee or tea. The dough is easy to make, but requires some time for rising, so make sure to plan ahead. The golden raisins or dried cherries add a pop of flavor and texture, but can be optional if desired.
