Brioche

Brioche is a rich and tender bread distinguished by its high egg and butter content, giving it a characteristic golden crust and a soft, almost cake-like crumb. This enriched dough produces a flavorful, slightly sweet bread with a delicate, buttery flavor. The texture is incredibly light and airy, yet substantial enough to hold its shape. High quality brioche bread is a versatile baked good valued for it's use in everything from french toast to burger buns.

Common Uses

  • Brioche is ideal for French toast because its rich, eggy nature enhances the custardy quality of the dish, creating an exceptionally decadent breakfast or brunch.- Use sliced brioche to create gourmet burger buns. The soft texture and subtle sweetness complement savory burger fillings beautifully, offering a high-end alternative to standard buns.- Brioche dough makes exceptional dinner rolls. Their tender crumb and buttery flavor elevate any meal, and they can be served warm with butter or used for mini sandwiches.- Brioche loaves are perfect for sandwiches, particularly those with rich fillings. The bread's sturdy yet soft texture holds up well, preventing sogginess and adding a delicious buttery note to each bite.- Brioche can be used as a base for bread pudding, absorbing the custard mixture beautifully and contributing to a richer, more flavorful dessert. It is frequently used in sweet preparations.- Turn day-old brioche into crispy, golden croutons for salads and soups. The buttery flavor adds a unique touch to your dishes.

Storage Tips

Brioche is best enjoyed fresh. To maintain its quality, store leftover brioche in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in a freezer bag, and freeze for up to 2-3 months. Thaw frozen brioche at room temperature before using. Reheat gently in a low oven or toaster to restore its soft texture.
