A new method and recipe for baking brioche are here.
Brioche, with its deliciousness, warm brioche is excellent for breakfast.

The same day baking, shape the dough. Proof and bake!
If you decide to bake the following day,
- Freeze for 3-5 hours, transfer to refrigerator, and the next morning is ready for the baking.

In the morning, preparing for the baking, butter the baking tins, and shape the dough.


Place the dough in the tins, cover with a cloth and put them in a warm place and free of the draft, to proof for two hours.


Before baking, brush the brioche with egg-washed and bake in a hot oven at 200 degrees C for 10 minutes, and reduce to 175 degrees C and continue baking for 19-22 minutes.

Cooking the Brioches on a Cooling Tray



I am happy enough with the baked brioches, they are beautiful looking, but they don't have a glossy crust, and maybe as good as Tartines at least is close enough.  It is soft and light.

This is my baking for brioches, for now, the next one would be the wintertime, I should be busy to save up the summer harvest which is not a lot, but I could make tomato chutney, and green tomato sambal.
Fresh pasta making is one on my agenda for this year and should be coming soon.
