Haven't tried this yet, but all the family love brioche, especially dipped into hot chocolate à la française !

The recipe here looks fairly simple so will give it a go at the weekend!

Hi all

I'll add these posts to the earlier thread to help keep all these ideas in one place.

Hmm... then consider which recipe I'm gonna use

Gryfon

This is part of the ingredients:

• 1 3/4 cups bread flour
• 2 tablespoons bread flour

Why does it 1 3/4 cups and then 2 tablespoons? All I'm after is a recipe to make yummy brioche in my breadmaker which isn't confusing :rolleyes: It's not even because you add some at one time and then add some more at a different time.

Someone help...I'm hungry :rotfl: Thanks

could you please post the full recipe or link? might be able to make more sense of it then.

It's done by volume. It doesn't need 4 cups but needs more than 3 3/4, hence adding 2 tablespoons. In most cup sets the smallest sup is 1/4.

Gryfon

Ahhhhhh! Ok that makes sense thanks Thistle-down. This is the recipe if anyone is interested. Fab can make it now without worrying I'm adding too much flour

Hi all

I bought some brioche rolls last night from Asda because they were on offer. I have never had them before ( have lead such a sheltered life he he) and I was wondering what I could put on them as a filling

Any advice welcome thanx

Hi MLE

Shamefully I have never had it myself....!

This thread suggest dipping in hot chocolate, with ice cream inside . Or there is a review of the sainsburys one here

I imagine you could make some sort of Bread and butter pudding too but am unsure

let us know how you get on and I will merge this with the brioche thread later. If you are stuck - why not try an array - sit with a tray full of various condiments to try little bits with and see how you like to eat it. Taste is so subjective

thanks

My DH loves them plain. I think you could use them for most fillings, although keep in mind they are richer than normal breads. I think anything that works as a croissant filling (e.g. ham and cheese) would work equally well in brioche.

For leftovers... I haven't tried it myself (yet!) but here's a recipe from one of my favourite baking blogs that looks yummy: http://www.letherbakecake.com/2009/08/ways-with-brioche-apricot-bread-pudding.html
