Brioche Toast

Brioche Toast

Overview

Brioche is a traditional French sweet bread with a long history. Its biggest feature is that it has more eggs, more butter and no water. Although the formula does not contain a drop of water, the prepared bread is not greasy at all, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and has a soft texture, similar to cake, and is very delicious. In an era when supplies were relatively scarce, only nobles could afford this kind of bread. What I would like to introduce to you today is brioche toast. The original recipe comes from the master Alexandre Thabard. The ingredients and operating steps have been slightly adjusted to make it easier to operate. The finished product has a moderate sweetness and is suitable for most Chinese tastes. Let’s take a look at how to do it next. The marked amount can make two 450g toasts.
