    I love brioche…one of my favorites when I lived in France! And…I always picture the pâtisserie window in the first of the Babar books! 🙂 Hope you are doing well, Madonna! Hugs…Debbie

      Thanks for stopping by Debbie. I am only realizing now all the French cooking that went on at my Grandmother’s until I started blogging. I knew it was different, but I did not know why.

    The brioche is beautiful Madonna. I wish I had those tortilla molds. I will have to look for them. Also, I have never heard of Herbert Keller so will have to look into that also.

      Thanks Penny. They had never been used and I only paid $2 for them or I would never have bought them. I have been watching Chef Keller on PBS. He is good a telling you what to do and what not to do. I like that rather than watching those competitive shows at the FoodNetwork.

    What a lovely recipe. I am keeping this one. I absolutely love Hubert Keller. He has such a kind and gentle way of speaking. I hope someday you will be able to watch his Christmas show where he goes back to his hometown in Alsace.

      Oh Susan, I am so glad you know who he is. I just found him, but I love how instructive he is. I will be watching for the Christmas show, especially if it is in France.

    What a great recipe for brioche! I love making bread and can’t wait to try this one with the reduced butter. I only have a large brioche pan so I think this would make enough to fit that!

      Hi Amanda, I have been intimidated also, but I thought the worst it could get is having to toss 2 cups of flour and 6 tablespoons of butter so I thought that would not be too bad. I am a little embarrassed about the tortilla pans, but I am getting over that also. Thanks so much for stopping by.

    I’ll bet you can put this dough in the refrigerator overnight — bread normally responds really well to that (plus you get a deeper flavor, IMO). But I’ve never tried it brioche dough (and all its butter) so I’m not sure how that would work. Anyway, this looks terrific! I love brioche, and it’s been ages since we’ve made it. Time again!

      I am pretty sure also, but since I have not tried it yet I was reluctant to say it will work. I think I will be making this one often since it does have less butter than most brioche recipes. I love that it only takes 2 cups of flour. As always, thanks for stopping by John, I always get good input from you.

    I have never made brioche, per se, but I make a lot of challah and variations of challah. Looking at your delicious post and blog name gave me the inspiration to try to make a loaf of lemon challah. Aren’t blogs great for getting new inspiration. Thanks!

    Mmmmm would I ever love a slice of your brioche for breakfast tomorrow morning, Madonna. I have made bread for over forty years and have never made brioche. Maybe I was intimated by the amount of butter, also?? Six tablespoons I can handle, though. You are brilliant for using those tortilla pans!!!! Great job! I love that you were creative like that.

      I hope you will give it a try and let me know your thoughts. I have only been making bread for about 8 – 10 years so I am sure you could teach me a thing or two.
