Brioche recipe?

Hello Lovely MSE-ers :wave:
We have been buying 2 packs of 8 choc chip brioche a week, OH takes them to work for Brekkie and LO has them for Brekkie or in his packed lunch. When I added up how much it was costing I found that we were spending £10 a month just on Brioche! :eek::eek::eek:
Does anyone have a good recipe for making them?
I've looked at a few online but they seem to vary wildly!
Thanks in advance

I have tried it before with a recipe from my breadmaker booklet; but tbh it turned out nothing like the shop bought brioche.
I have the same problem as my DD loves it; but luckily Pitch is kn offer at the mo for a £1. However, she can easily sit and eat a pack to half a pack in one sitting!

Bad news I am afraid Pip's mum. According to my friendly patisserie teacher you cannot make sweet Brioche like the type sold with choc chips.
There are a few main types of brioche all containing differing amounts of egg and butter (the more the better). But for me the give away is when (as in the link above) the description says good with pate - this is certainly not the type of cakey-brioche you are looking for.
I do hope someone is able to come up with a sweet recipe because DS could easily live on the stuff!0 -

Ooooh thanks, will have a look Lyrolee & kara7758
Hadnt even noticed it said good with Pate :eek: UKclare!!
My guess is that I will never be able to recreate the lightness of the shop bought ones at home, I imagine they are all going to come out much more doughy.Debt at LBM [strike]£17,544[/strike] :eek: £5700:TOver £14,000 PAID OFF :T
