Made this brioche today and really liked how it turned out. The dough spent about 16 hours in the fridge before the final proof at room temperature and baking. It’s a pretty rich dough too a bit over 30% butter relative to the flour.

I always find brioche interesting because the dough feels almost impossible at first with all that butter, but after the rest it becomes much easier to handle. The cold rest seemed to help a lot with flavor and structure as well.

Pretty happy with the result (first time baking brioche in a loaf pan).

I also took a short video of the crumb.

    Looks so yellow. Impressive. What recipe did you use?

  3. If you put a saucisson à cuire pistaché in the middle before the final proof you will have the perfect Lyon specialty “Saucisson Brioché”, well done! (Serve with Sauce Beaujolaise).

  4. Pfft this looks really tasty, that yellow is a ringing advertisement of 30% butter 🤤

    This would pair well for chicken sandwich, do you mind sharing the recipe pls?
