Butterscotch Brioche for Beginners

大家吃的开开心心

Dear bread lovers, join me over the next few months on a bread making odyssey and we shall kick off with these tiny chewy broiches soused with a velvety butterscotch sauce (from bottle). They existed on Earth for a short afternoon. I baked them from a recipe found on a yeast box (SAF). The recipe using a straight method is great for beginners who wants to bake some tea delights in the fastest possible time. 

This technique buns always a disappointment in its life span, hardly can retain its moisture for a day. By the next day, the texture turn into that of a dampened packing carton box. Fortunately I found takers who loved chewing this batch immediate from oven. I squeezed lots of the sauce on them when taken out of the oven piping hot . The takers were over the moon to eat them. I suppose the delicious sauce camouflaged the flaws of this fast bread making method. After this fun-loving session playing with dough and the interest is still fluttering in your heart, hop over to my other bread posts with dough starters and be enlightened. A myriad list of these real bread is ecstatic and the baking goes on and on...Try the Asian Hot Cross Buns next.
