T...WOW! WOW! WOW!<br />BEAUTIFUL! BEAUTIFUL! BEAUTIFUL!<br /><br />The dough is so easy to make and so easy to work with and delicious!!! It is now a part of my regular continental breakfast menu. I cut it into slices and leave it whole to act as a centerpiece surrounded by croissants and pan au chocolate. I made it in a tube pan rather than a heart shaped or round.<br /><br />It baked up very nicely. I'd like to try it in a chocolate version.<br /><br />I would love to send pictures, but can't figure out how!<br /><br />Thank you! Thank you!

That sounds pretty coo...BleedingEspresso- A dove! That sounds pretty cool. Actually, the brioche reminded me a bit of the Easter bread my mother bakes, just with almonds. <BR/><BR/>Michelle- Go for it. This recipe is much easier than a traditional brioche. Having the pre-made dough cuts the time way down.<BR/><BR/>Gabi- Thanks! Now I just have to think of something interesting to say! ;)<BR/><BR/>Zen Chef- Thank you! My daughter polished off the last of it this morning. Next time I make it, I'll save you a piece. ;)<BR/><BR/>Obsessive- Thanks. I'm glad you found me. Chocolate chips would be nice too. The Artisan bread cookbook also has a recipe for chocolate filled brioche. <BR/><BR/>Anonymous- The master recipe for the brioche dough is supposed to make 4 one pound loaves. I think that when they say to use a cantaloupe-sized ball, they are estimating what a 1 1/2 pound ball would look like, since it might be hard for some to measure exactly. It isn't really a very scientific way to do it, but I don't think a little more or less will affect the outcome. I can't say for certain if my ball of dough was exacty 1 1/2 pounds.<BR/><BR/>I had to bake mine longer because I used the heart insert and it was smaller in circumferance than a regular round cake pan. My brioche baked narrower and thus, up higher. I had to bake it longer for the center to cook through. <BR/><BR/>The recipe I provided was as written in the cookbook, except for my added note. The recommended baking time is 40 minutes. I baked mine 15 minutes on top of that. If you use a regular pan, 40 minutes should be right. Sorry about the confusion!<BR/><BR/>Cakelaw- Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. This was a moist and slightly sweet bread. The almond really gave it a nice flavor. It would be really good with your morning coffee or tea.Susan @ SGCChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00156812413651058664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6834264313759237349.post-64555731280772531002008-02-17T18:25:00.000-05:002008-02-17T18:25:00.000-05:00Hi Susan, this looks yummy!

A coup...Hi Susan,<BR/> The brioche looks mouth watering. A couple of things are vague though. The ingredients list calls for 1.5 lbs dough. The instructions say that this should be cut into a cantaloupe sized ball. So is the weight of the dough actually used less than 1.5lbs?<BR/>Also in the intro you say you had to bake it for around 15mins more. Is the time in the instructions(40mins) inclusive of this extra 15 mins?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6834264313759237349.post-77909381851085117762008-02-17T14:00:00.000-05:002008-02-17T14:00:00.000-05:00Oh my gosh....this looks incredible.
