Instructions
Combine the yeast, sugar and milk, place in bowl. Set aside in a warm spot for 15 minutes or until frothy.
In a mixer, add the flour, salt, pepper and egg yolk. Pour in the yeast mixture and combine well. Gradually add the butter and knead until well incorporated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Lightly knead dough and push into a loaf tin. Set aside for two hours or until the dough doubles in size. Bake in 180°C preheated oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Heat a frypan over medium-high heat. Add the butter and onion, and fry, stirring often, for a couple of minutes. Reduce heat to low and add the garlic. Continue to cook until the onion is translucent. Add the mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms soften.
Gently mix in the sage. Season to taste, add the sour cream, and stir through.
Slice the brioche and toast in a toaster or under a grill. Top with the mushrooms, cracked pepper and a drizzle of olive oil.
