Description

The recipe won't take much time. There are several ways to prepare brioche. It can be baked as a loaf or as small buns. Depending on this, the amount of sugar in the dough varies. For a loaf, you'll need just a little sugar, while buns require more. Of course, such buns take quite a while to bake, even though the recipe is simple. The baking is done. Serve at the table.

    Pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients. Place the butter in a sturdy bag and roll it with a rolling pin until it softens slightly (this is according to the classic recipe), but I simply grated the butter on a grater.

    From the resulting balls, shape something resembling a bowling pin, then make a hole in the wider part and pull the narrow end through it. This will create a cute and unusual bun.

    Place the prepared buns into muffin tins of suitable size and let them rise at room temperature for 1–1.5 hours. The buns will rise a bit more. Then bake them in an oven preheated to 200°C (392°F) for 15–20 minutes. Optionally, you can brush them with egg yolk beforehand, but mine browned beautifully even without it.
