I love brioche…one of my favorites when I lived in France! And…I always picture the pâtisserie window in the first of the Babar books! 🙂 Hope you are doing well, Madonna! Hugs…Debbie
Thanks for stopping by Debbie. I am only realizing now all the French cooking that went on at my Grandmother’s until I started blogging. I knew it was different, but I did not know why.
The brioche is beautiful Madonna. I wish I had those tortilla molds. I will have to look for them. Also, I have never heard of Herbert Keller so will have to look into that also.
Thanks Penny. They had never been used and I only paid $2 for them or I would never have bought them. I have been watching Chef Keller on PBS. He is good a telling you what to do and what not to do. I like that rather than watching those competitive shows at the FoodNetwork.
What a lovely recipe. I am keeping this one. I absolutely love Hubert Keller. He has such a kind and gentle way of speaking. I hope someday you will be able to watch his Christmas show where he goes back to his hometown in Alsace.
Oh Susan, I am so glad you know who he is. I just found him, but I love how instructive he is. I will be watching for the Christmas show, especially if it is in France.
What a great recipe for brioche! I love making bread and can’t wait to try this one with the reduced butter. I only have a large brioche pan so I think this would make enough to fit that!
Hi Amanda, I have been intimidated also, but I thought the worst it could get is having to toss 2 cups of flour and 6 tablespoons of butter so I thought that would not be too bad. I am a little embarrassed about the tortilla pans, but I am getting over that also. Thanks so much for stopping by.
I’ll bet you can put this dough in the refrigerator overnight — bread normally responds really well to that (plus you get a deeper flavor, IMO). But I’ve never tried it brioche dough (and all its butter) so I’m not sure how that would work. Anyway, this looks terrific! I love brioche, and it’s been ages since we’ve made it. Time again!
I am pretty sure also, but since I have not tried it yet I was reluctant to say it will work. I think I will be making this one often since it does have less butter than most brioche recipes. I love that it only takes 2 cups of flour. As always, thanks for stopping by John, I always get good input from you.
I have never made brioche, per se, but I make a lot of challah and variations of challah. Looking at your delicious post and blog name gave me the inspiration to try to make a loaf of lemon challah. Aren’t blogs great for getting new inspiration. Thanks!
This looks so amazing! I can’t wait to try it. Pinned and tweeted! Thanks for being a part of our party. I hope to see you, Monday at 7 pm. Lou Lou Girls
Mmmmm would I ever love a slice of your brioche for breakfast tomorrow morning, Madonna. I have made bread for over forty years and have never made brioche. Maybe I was intimated by the amount of butter, also?? Six tablespoons I can handle, though. You are brilliant for using those tortilla pans!!!! Great job! I love that you were creative like that.
I hope you will give it a try and let me know your thoughts. I have only been making bread for about 8 – 10 years so I am sure you could teach me a thing or two.
YUM! Thank you so much for linking up at Tasty Tuesday! This post has been pinned on the Tasty Tuesday Pinterest board! I love having you and can’t wait to see you next week!
Your Brioche is just beautiful and would be delicious! Thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday and have a great day!
Come Back Soon,

They turned out great Madonna!

Thanks Monique. I liked that the recipe is small and manageable for me.
