FFwD - Bubble-Top Brioches

Who doesn't love homemade bread?  I love it and love to make it and I'm grateful to Dorie and the French Friday cooks for getting me baking again.  I used to bake bread once a week but fell out of the routine last summer and never got back into it.

Here in Oklahoma its been a gorgeous week...lots of sun and not too much wind...temps in the 60s.  It was gorgeous sitting on the patio with fresh from the oven brioche, orange marmalade and a cup of coffee.  I could get used to it!

This was my first brioche and it was so easy it won't be my last!  Check out the experiences of all the French Friday cooks at French Fridays with Dorie.

  1. Lola - those look beautiful.
    And totally jealous of that weather. We've been below freezing here - brrrr. Although it did make it up to the 40s today.

  2. Mid/high sixties weather is perfection. These brioche rolls are just the icing on the cake!

  3. I used to make bread at least once a week. Like you, I found that habit was easier to get out of than to get in to. But I'm going to try again this year.

  4. Gotta love a breakfast like that! Glad your first brioche experience was a good one. It took a lot of tries before mine came out how I wanted it!

  5. I am so glad you got to enjoy your brioche sitting outside on the patio. Homemade bread is wonderful and I can't wait to make more. Your basket of brioche looks so beautiful and inviting.

  6. I agree, Lola - I thought they'd be far more complicated. I never even considered making them, but now we can impress people! LOL!

    Have a great weekend!

  8. Lola, I so agree with you...there's something therapeutic about baking bread. I was looking forward to this recipe. We've been having weather in the 20's and 30's so I really envy you sitting on the patio with a cup of coffee and your brioche. Your brioches look gorgeous! Have a great weekend!

  9. Your brioche looks gorgeous! I think everyone loves homemade bread warm from the oven. It may be time for me to start making it a weekly habit!

  12. Your rolls look great! I'm still a relative newbie to bread baking. I dipped my little toe in the yeasty waters last year and I hope to get more into it this year.

  18. Oh yours look so yummy - great shot with the warm sunlight on them :) And I am with you about repeats. It has actually been a long time since I did any season bread related activities (thank you, Dr. Atkins....) and expected these little numbers to be pretty complicated. They were not and their flavor was even better than I had imagined. I ate way too many and enjoyed every bite.

  19. We were 85 last week when this recipe was made - too hot for January, I'd love your 65 degrees. Wasn't this a great recipe to get back into bread making with! I'm especially thinking TWD is good motivation since the first assignment is bread...Loved your post!
