Maple Brioche Loaf

Before, I made stick danish loaf with 6x6x20cm loaf tins which I bought in Japan. 

I quite like them. I can make small size slices. It is perfect for tea time snack size.

 

 

I like maple syrup. When my friends go to Canada, I ask them to buy maple syrup for me. But it never work....they give me maple syrup flavour cookies.
One day I want to go Canada, then I want buy good quality one. 
Anyway, I buy the maple syrup by myself at the supermarket or international food shop.

It is first time to bake something with maple syrup. I have used it for pan-cake lots of times.
I put it into the brioche dough.

It has golden brown color crust and brownish soft crumb.
It smell rich butter maple aroma.  It is better to have toast and extra maple syrup.
