Brioche Bread by Eric Kayser

Hi my lovelies!

Today, let’s talk “breakfast”. For those who have children, you are probably facing the same issues in the morning: what to put on the table for breakfast? I will give you an idea that you should seduce quite a few: the brioche bread by Eric Kayser.

In the morning, before school, everything must go as planned. We also need to make sure that our children will go to school with full stomacs. And, more and more now, we try to avoid industrial food, very convenient for sure but not healthy at all.

So you might argue that we can give them the traditional bread – butter – jam. But for a change, and without ruining the food balance of our loved ones, the brioche bread by Eric Kayser is a pretty good solution.

It will replace your usual bread and can also be eaten without any topping. This recipe has a limited amount of sugar and butter. It is not a real brioche but it has the taste of it, and moreover, it’s homebaked.

You’ll be able to bake two loafs (with 22-24 cm long cake molds). I always keep one (cut in half) in my freezer. We make 3 to 4 breakfasts for 3 kids out of this recipe. I think it’s pretty cool…

And if you decide to have a slice of this brioche bread with a chocolate bar, it will be a very good snack.

Before moving on to the recipe, as always when baking dough, I strongly recommend to use a food processor with kneading function like my kMix by Kenwood. If you want to avoid compact breads or brioches, if you want to avoid doughs that wouldn’t grow (or just arm cramps !!), it is definitely the best solution.

Shall we now?
