After three tutorials on knitting brioche, we thought it would be fun to try making some yummy brioche!
We tried several recipes, but we found this one to be the best. The process was quite long, considering all the time you need to allow the dough to rise and the fact that you also need to let it stand overnight. Still, it was a straightforward and easy recipe to make, and the brioche turned out to be very airy and light, just as it should be!
We forgot to add the salt in the video tutorial, but to be honest, we didn’t actually think it made any difference as the brioche was delicious anyway. But we will make sure to add the salt next time we make it!
Enjoy the video below and keep scrolling for the recipe!
Bon appétit!
