"My mom made this brioche on Saturday afternoon to be eaten, in theory, for breakfast on Sunday morning. It was so delicious, though, that it rarely lasted through the night…" -Antoine Westermann

Ingredients
- 500 gram wheat flour, white, all-purpose, enriched, unbleached [usda:20581]
- 15 gram fresh yeast
- 3 tablespoon milk
- 60 gram caster sugar
- 4 egg, whole, raw, fresh [usda:1123]
- 1 pinch of salt, table [usda:2047]
- 50 gram butter, without salt [usda:1145]
- 6.5 tablespoon double cream
- 60 gram sugars, granulated [usda:19335]
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract [usda:2050]
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
- Dissolve the yeast in warmed milk. In a bowl, mix the ingredients in the following order: flour, salt, caster sugar, egg and dissolved yeast. Combine and kneed the dough for about ten minutes, pulling the dough with your hand until it feels glossy and elastic.
- Add the softened butter and continue to work the dough until it no longer sticks to your hands. Place the dough in a buttered pie dish (diameter 25 to 30cm), cover with a damp cloth and let rise for about thirty minutes in a warm place. Mix in the softened butter and continue to let it rise for thirty minutes in a warm place.
- Before baking, press your thumb into the dough, in different places, to create small, shallow holes. With your hands, create a small lip around the edge of the dough. Mix the cream, sugar, vanilla extract and butter in a bowl and spread onto the dough. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake in a 325F oven for 30 min.
