Brioche

What is brioche?

Brioche is a pastry made from a soft, elastic yeast dough that is enriched with plenty of butter and eggs. The dough has to be kneaded and cooled several times to achieve its typical consistency. Brioche can be baked in various shapes, for example as a roll, plait or cake. Brioche has a high fat and calorie content and is therefore very substantial.
