Parisian Brioche




Brioche is a type of bread that is high in fat and eggs but very tasty and fancy looking bread. The high ratio of fat and eggs is what make this bread very delicious. Brioche is very soft and tasty bread, it’s good for breakfast time with some honey butter or cheese, my kids likes to eat alone. Brioche can be savory too especially if shaped like a regular loaf of bread then sliced and used as appetizer topped with smoke salmon and green olives slices. There are so many ways and shape to make the brioche, but my favorite one is brioche a tete. Brioche a tete is shaped as ball that put in fluted pan and topped with another ball of dough that is shaped a little bit smaller than the first one, then brush the shaped dough with egg wash and bake until dark brown. The final look for brioche is amazing and very appealing to the eyes, because is very shiny and glossy from the egg wash prior to baking. When I make brioche for my family the whole house smells wonderful just like areal bakery shop. Brioche bread is one of the thing that I learn in the baking and pastry class and I love it.
