9 Ways To Use Your Leftover Brioche Bread. If You Haven’t Eaten Them Already!
Rich, golden-brown and decadently buttery with a hint of sweetness and lots of eggs in the dough, brioche can be used to uplift anything – from hamburgers and PB&Js to French toasts and puddings.
With none of the humility of ordinary bread, brioche is known as a Viennoiserie — a French pastry like the croissant – that sits somewhere in between a boulangerie (bread bakery) and a patisserie (cake bakery) product.
In other words, it is versatile, sinfully flavorful, and can be used to prepare almost anything that calls for a great bread.
Put a dollop of jam into a brioche bun, and it’s breakfast. Use ham-and-cheese, and it’s a sandwich lunch. Eat them as rolls to accompany a hearty soup or a beef roast, and it’s dinner.
At Schwartz Brothers Bakery, we are particularly proud of the made-from-scratch brioches we bake with yeasted dough and plenty of butter, milk and eggs. (Click HERE to find your nearest outlet that stocks our products.)
