Brioches

by:




Brioche is made with eggs instead of water and once kneaded into a cohesive dough, cold butter is worked in bit by bit. The result is a rich, delicate, soft texture that is simply wonderful served for breakfast with jam and butter. Brioche makes marvelous toast. Recipes for brioche vary in the amount of butter they contain - anywhere from one - fifth the weight of the flour to an equal amount - but this recipe is in the middle. One caveat when making brioche: If the room is hot, the dough will seem too runny when you've added all the butter and you may be tempted to add extra flour; resist the temptation as the dough will firm up once its chilled. Makes 1 brioche loaf or 8 individual brioches.
