How about delicious individual brioches, shaped like an atom? Decorated with granulated sugar, these buns are as much fun to make as they are to eat!
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Rest Time: 2h30
Bake Time: 15-20 minutes at 350°F (180°C)
Difficulty: easy
Yield: 8 brioches
Ingredients
- 2 cups + 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour (300 g)
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar (50 g)
- 1 bag of active-dry yeast
- 1/2 cup of warm milk (1.3 dl)
- 1/3 cup of butter (80 g)
- 1 egg
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
Instructions
Pour all the ingredients into the food processor bowl, taking care that salt and yeast do not come into direct contact. Knead for about 10 minutes until a homogeneous dough is obtained. Cover and leave to double in volume for 1h30.
Deflate the dough and divide it into 8 equal balls.
On a floured work surface, spread each ball finely in an oval shape using a rolling pin.
Make slanted incisions on each oval.
Roll each oval, starting from the widest part, which gives a long “sausage”.
Wrap the “sausage” like a snail, so as to form a kind of atom. Place the atoms on a baking sheet covered with baking paper. Cover and let stand for 1 hour.
Preheat ovent to 350°F (180°C).
Using a brush, brush the buns with a beaten egg. Sprinkle with granulated sugar.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until nicely browned.
