A soft and melting crumb from the first bite ...
My tasty Vendée brioche is inexpensive and simply delicious to accompany your breakfasts and snacks.
What more could you ask of him?
Originally from Charente-Maritime, Vendée brioche accompanied many of my meals during my childhood.
Grilled and savored with a knob of butter, or even plain with a spoonful of jam, I can still feel its tantalizing scent tickling my nostrils.
Ingredients for 10 people
- 500 g of flour
- 200 g of butter

How to do
Preparation: 15 min - Cooking: 30 min
1. I pour the flour on my counter.
2. I dilute the yeast in 25 cl of lukewarm water and pour this preparation into the fountain I dug in the middle of the flour.
3. I add 3 whole eggs, the sugar and a pinch of salt.
4. I knead everything so that the dough is very smooth and not too soft.
5. I add the milk.
6. I knead the butter apart, add a third of my dough to it, and mix well to get a smooth dough.
7. I add the rest of my dough to my butter in half.
8. I let it sit for two hours, covered with a clean cloth in a place warm enough (25 °) for it to rise.
9. I preheat my oven to 180 °.
10. I butter a mold and fill it with the dough.
11. With the tip of a knife, I draw diamonds on the top and brown with a beaten egg yolk using a brush.
12. I bake for 30 min.
13. I let stand before tasting!
Results
And there you have it, you have prepared a delicious homemade and economical brioche :-)
My bonus tip
I also put in a tablespoon of Orange Blossom in my preparation to delicately flavor my brioche.
How long can I keep it?
My homemade brioche, wrapped in a plastic bag, will keep for a fortnight.
But be careful, so that it doesn't harden and crust on the surface, I place it in a bag within 3 hours of coming out of the oven.
