Does anyone make brioche ?

Mardatha and Ragz - yes it does make the most wonderful bread pudding.

When I made it at college we made a sweet dough with egg in it as well and then kneaded the softened butter into it after the first prove - very gooey, but fun in a mud pie kind of way:rotfl:

I'd not tried it before and bought a choc chip brioche loaf from Aldi. OMG I ate the whole loaf (not in one sitting I might add but still......:o) and it was delicious. BUT not sure I could trust myself around it so have avoided trying to make my own <avoids looking at the link by sitting on hands>

Hi I have mine toasted with honey - its more or less like having a croissant. I wouldn't put butter on it.

Can I just second the choc chip aldi one. OMG, yes you will eat it all in one day. Love the stuff which is why I dont buy it! I did try and make it in my BM but didnt taste the same. Maybe need a better recipe.

I bought a reduced one in Tesco to try and I spread it with Nutella, it was really moreish.

I kept thinking I had tasted something very similar before and realised it was a croissant.

Its basically an incredibly rich bread dough, it makes the world's best eggy bread / French toast as well as bread and butter pud. I've made it before using an Ina Garten (barefoot contessa) recipe which took a lot of the work out of it as its all done in a mixer. However although it was amazing I recall something like 10 eggs :eek: and half a pound of butter at least for two loaves. They did freeze very well though.:D
