Today, I tested for you the recipe for brioches à tête by Betty Bossi, the imaginary Swiss cook of the COOP. I wouldn’t be able to tell you if their catchphrase “even the French don’t do better” is true, however I can tell you that I didn’t miss them and that they were very good.
My daughter is crazy about head buns, and even though my heart swings more sugar buns, there is nothing better than a head bun cut in half and spread with butter and jam!
For the occasion, I was able to show off my mini-brioche molds lying at the bottom of a drawer in my new beautiful Schmidt kitchen.
