The Brioche from Vendée

Hello my friends!

Today it’s back to kneading!!

We are going to make a delicious brioche from Vendée!!

This is a traditional recipe from the French region called Vendée. It is located on the western side of France, on the Atlantic coast. Even though I love this brioche from Vendée, I didn’t know the recipe.

So I made research and saw several versions, which is often the case which traditonal recipes… So I cooked a version that looks good to me!  🙂

As a result, we have a very yummy brioche, which a super moist crumb, heavenly for breakfast or for a nice afternoon snack!

The making process of the brioche from Vendée is very similar to the ones that you can already find here on the blog. The particularity is the thick cream (or mascarpone as I used here). That is the ingredient that will make this brioche so special.

Finally, I decided to make a braided brioche out of it and cook it in a cake mold, but you can go for other shapes.

The main advantage of this recipe is that you can keep it a rather long time. The amazing moist of this brioche lasts 3 days!! Well, if it is not eaten by then…

As an official “brioche addict”, this is my final opinion: must do!!!

The utensils:

A food processor with hook (or a few muscles),

A cake mold

And a pastry brush.

Nothing more!

So let’s bake some brioche from Vendée!!

The recipe, Chef!

    Pensez-vous qu’il est possible de préparer la veille et de faire cuire le matin pour une gâche tiède au petit dej?

      Bonjour Myriam, vous pouvez effectivement réaliser la deuxième pousse au frigo pendant la nuit et cuire le matin. Belle journée !

        Merci pour votre réponse! Faut-il attendre un peu entre la sortie du frigo et la mise au four?
        Et faut-il augmenter la durée de cuisson?
        Je fais ça avec vos baguettes (au frigo toute la nuit et hop au four à mon réveil, ça marche! Mais la dernière fois que j’ai voulu faire ça avec une brioche type chinois, catastrophe, la pate est redescendue pendant la nuit, résultat: ça faisait plus une texture de scone…)

    Bonjour Emma .
    Comment doit être La texture de la pâte lorsqu’on en a fini avec Le robot SvP ?
    Elle n’est pas vraiment compact la mienne ressemble à une purée bien épaisse ?

      Bonjour Monia,
      Elle doit se décoller des bords du bol. pas forcément en boule bien serrée mais “purée” ce n’est pas assez consistant. Continuez à pétrir en ajoutant 1 ou 2 cuillères à soupe de farine.

    Bonjour Emmanuelle, peut-on pétrir à la machine à pain (je n’ai pas de robot pâtissier) ?
