I'm thinking of baking brioche. Any tips?

[Marthe48]

I found out my daughter's family likes brioche. I have a recipe book with a brioche recipe and instructions. I bake bread and other baked goods, never tried baking this. Does anyone bake brioche? Do you have any tips for me so my first effort is a success? Many thanks

1. It takes a very long time to rise

About double the norm. Be patient.

2. Thank you

My daughter has a productive flock of chickens. If I am successful, she won't mind giving me eggs to enhance the flavor and nutrition.

3. "To bake is to wait"

give the yeast plenty of time to do their thing

4. It's been a long time

But I don’t remember it being in any way difficult. Croissants, on the other hand...

5. I found some up-to-date recipes

looks easier than the one I had planned to use. I think it'll also give me some play on what kind of pan I can use. I made croissant dough many years ago. I wish I had the patience then that I have now

7. I took the leap today and baked brioche buns

They turned out very pretty and aromatic
This is the recipe I followed. It was easier than the one in the cook book I intended to use:

The main reason I opted for buns is that I don't have a brioche pan. I might get one. My birthday is coming up.

Thank you, everyone for the advice
