Brioche Mousseline

24 November 2009 6 Comments

The Bread Baking Babes strike again. And this time I am a good buddy. I finished my task within time.

Monique from Liveing on bread and water is serving as the kitchen of the month and brought a indulging, heavy little sweetness to us: Brioche Mousseline.

I love brioche you know. I’ve made them often for breakfast on Sundays and some little sweeties live in my freezer, ready to be taken out and popped into the oven… for a wonderful delicious breakfast treat.

I’ve never made a brioche that heavy and luxurious than this brioche dough. All this eggs and butter!!

But I tell ya: these little brioche are yummy. I tried one fresh out of th oven with jam (no butter, I thought it has enough in the dough anyway…) and it was oh so yummy!

For all the recipe details please visit Monique’s site! I sticked to the recipe she gave us, except that I used yet again spelt flour.
I did not find cans to bake the brioche in, so I used my little creme brulee forms and wrapped them with parcement paper. It worked and I got wonderful little brioche towers!

Don’t they look like little gems?

The ever gorgeous Bread Baking Babes are:

Karen – What I did not show you all: I used my muffin molds for the rest of the dough and did not think of the collar either – what shall I say? They were not too pretty ;o)

Lien – thanks :)
