French pastry brioche: sharing the secret of a lush and tender pastry

A brioche is a French pastry made of muffin dough. It turns out very puffy and tender in taste. It turns out very lush and delicate in flavor. Dense and at the same time not clogged. This is because the dough is cooked with a lot of butter.

The idea for the brioche pastry is published on the Instagram page of food blogger Daria with the nickname recepti_dariko.
