Celtic brioche
Description
The pastry is prepared simply and quickly. If you love fresh and fragrant baked goods, then this is for you! I’ll share a wonderful recipe that will please everyone without exception, it’s “Celtic brioche”! Making such buns is not difficult, shaping is easy and requires no special skills—just roll the dough thinly, like for dumplings, press it out with a glass, and roll it into little spirals. Cut each spiral into two pieces; these are two ready‑made flowers that only need their petals spread and brushed with egg white. Bake for 15 to 25 minutes at 170 °C. That’s all, now you know. It can be served with tea or coffee.
