*Double yoke egg!

This week was J's and N's birthdays and J & N invited us over for dinner. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! So I had a break from
tasty nom nom. But I gave in to two bread products - brioche and hamburger buns. I have made other rich egg bread like challah and pulla. Although leftovers make very yummy bread pudding, I was never happy with the texture / taste. But G seems to think pulla is suppose to be 'dry' so you can butter (or add jam) and toast. Hmm. Anyways ...

I tried the Basic Brioche Recipe from Rose Levy Beranbaum. It is a sticky buttery eggy rich dough. It came together in the stand mixer just fine and was easy to handle once chilled. I shaped it into loaf and baked. It made an outstanding loaf of brioche and very tasty french toasts.

The hamburger buns recipe is from King Arthur Flour. It is also a very simple recipe and I kneaded it by hand. It makes a good sandwich roll, sturdier than store-bought buns, a little chewy, but not as much as say ciabatta.

Bread. Yum.
