I guess when it comes to my brioche I am a middle of the road, middle class kind of gal. What I really loved about this week was the explanations and options for the brioche and what they could be used for.
I really want to try making a tart or something with some brioche dough some time, since it is mentioned in the book that it could work.
For this week's Bread Baker's Apprentice challenge we were tasked with making brioche. Luckily I have made brioche a couple of times before, so I had a decent idea of what to expect. What I didn't expect was how much nicer and easier this recipe would come together. The dough was soft, silky and buttery smooth.
I made two loaves from the recipe and used the third portion to make 12 cinnamon rolls/cupcakes. The bread was tender, delicious and very light - especially for all that butter and eggs!
You can check out the challenge page on Pinch My Salt for more bakers and brioche this week!

Those are the most perfect looking cinnamon rolls ever! I could use one for breakfast right about now!

Now you've got me craving a cinnamon brioche bun at 6.40 am in the morning!!
Those cinnamon rolls are too cute!
WOW - I want to make those! I want a really good cinnamon roll recipe for Christmas....I think that might be them! Do they taste as good as they look? How many did you eat!!??
Gorgeus Pictures too!
Oooh wow, fantastic, fantastic. I love the cinnamon roll best and I wish I was having some for breakfast too.
What awesom, delicious looking cinnamon rolls! Wow!
Good Morning, looks delicious...where do we 'click' for this recipe please?? Tata, Valerie in Manitoba, Canada.
Thanks all! They were really great! I don't know if I think they are better than regular cinnamon rolls, but they were a nice lighter-texture change.
The recipe actually isn't being posted since we are all working our way through the book - we don't want to publish all of Mr. Reinhart's book. You can find all the brioche variations in the book - The Bread Baker's Apprentice.
I did just find another site that posted the middle-class brioche recipe. Here it is: http://www.thefreshloaf.com/recipes/brioche
Oh I love it!!
Wow, they are gorgeous!!
Those cinnamon rolls look to-die for. My favorite photo is the very first one. Mmm...drippy glaze.
OMG, these look amazing! Fabulous job!
Looks amazing, I want to try these. I made the cinnamon rolls from the book in Hawaii and almost DIED, so easy and good.
wow! sounds delicious...gorgeous snapshots.
You do realize how gorgeous those are right! Amazing. Great photos too! I am learning....
Wow. So impressive. Your photos are great too. Is it too late for a roll at 6 pm?
wow that looks stunning. almost makes me want to try making them even though it's 90 degrees and way too humid.
The close up shots are great. I can almost smell and taste these!!!
How great!!! Must make soon! Filled Brioche anytime - YUM!!
I was scrolling through your site of deliciousness and while scrolling passed these picture, my husband sitting next to me said, "Mmmmmmm, Yummy! I wan't something yummy!"
Absolutely beautiful! What a great recipe.
I love the rolls! That's a great idea. I tried to do something like snails with part of my dough, but I hate that they open up too much as they rise and bake. The muffin tin is a wonderful solution.
