Recipe • Mini Brioche

Brioche is a soft, buttery bread that is rich enough to be considered a yeast-risen cake. In fact, when Marie Antoinette (supposedly) said "Let them eat", she was actually referring to brioche. Our recipe is rather lean by Parisian standards: we use about 50% butter relative to the weight of the bread flour, whereas many recipes use as much as 75% butter, and a few artisan formulas are equal parts flour and butter.
