à tête
BBA Challenge fourth recipe: Brioche. The book has three options: Rich Man's with 1 pound, yes, 1 pound of butter, Middle-Class with half a pound, and Poor Man's with a quarter pound. I chose the middle class because I've made the poor man's version several times already and although I am more than satisfied with the PM brioche which is perfect for making Croque Monsieur, I want a richer brioche with more butter but not THAT MUCH butter.
The middle-class is very rich and I can't imagine how the rich man's will turn out. I won't know because I have no intention of baking it soon; maybe after we are done with all the recipes I'll take a stab at it. I'm happy with the middle-class with its soft light-as-feather delicious crumb and flaky crust. It's a little bit richer than poor man's as expected but there's very little difference in flavor and texture. Brioche is one of the breads that I will never get tired of. It's easy to prepare and on the eyes, versatile, and did I mention very yummy?
proofing in 9-wave brioche (or tortilla) molds
After the first bite of this brioche you'll hear yourself nomnomnom-ing whether it's
torn off by hand
(I love the flaky crust)
or neatly sliced

Wow. Your brioche look amazing. The small brioche a tete are perfectly fluted and shaped. Bravo! I can't wait to make these this week.
i love it flaky outside yet moist inside:) galing!:)
Yikes, a pound of butter?!! I'm with you oggi, I would have gone poor man to middle class too. The brioche looks so tender.
Thanks all.
Marvin, poor man's is perfect for grilled cheese sandwich or pudding.
Love this bread especially the whole wheat
