This is going to be a regular feature of my blog, where I highlight a particular ingredient or favourite food that is versatile. First off is brioche which is a new discovery for me.
Brioche is a sweet bread that originates from France. I have often looked at it in the supermarket with its sunny yellow glaze and wondered whether I should try it, it looked so inviting. I eventually did and wasn’t disappointed. The slightly sweet taste makes it perfect for breakfast, but also means it’s a great base for sweet dishes. I personally love brioche spit open with ham inside like a little sandwich, or a hotdog weiner, it reminds me of the baked goods from my favourite Chinese bakery.
However if you like sweet things, try brioche in bread and butter pudding, filled with ice cream as an ice cream sandwich or covered in icing/frosting to make a simple iced bun.
For the iced buns, make sure your icing is quite thick as it often slips off the shiny brown top of the brioche, you might also have to add a couple of layers if this is indeed the case.
