What about spoiling yourself during breakfast with a soft brioche!

I wasn’t easy for me to make this brioche recipe, dur to the lack of a mixer. However, I enjoyed kneading the dough manually. The results is yet satisfying; the brioche was as soft as cotton.
As for the shape, you can give your brioche the shape you want; braided brioche, rolled brioche, round brioche…
