Frankly speaking, i have never had a good
brioche in my country,
One day while
sleeping, i've dreamt of a
good brioche
coming out of the oven, as soon as i woked up,
i wanted to try
one. On that day itself, i called my aunt
who worked in a bakery in France and
asked her for the best brioche recipe,
i was eager to make that and was surprised
that it turned out as good as the one sold in bakeries in France. Since that
day, i stick to this recipe only to get a delicious brioche.
I admit it takes a long time to reach the tasting point, but it's really worth waiting for.
