Anyone who has ever tasted a diet-busting brioche roll from the Corner Bakery, knows the delightful pleasure they are. Unexplicably however, they stopped making them, to my dismay. So off and on (as my short attention span allows), I've tried to recreate the CB brioche roll. In all honesty, I've had more failures than successes. But just yesterday (more like early this morning because I don't sleep) I tried this recipe specificaly created for bread machine owners in mind. I did not however follow the recipe to a T. Following the modifications of one of the reviews, I formed dinner rolls (which was right in keeping with the CB appearance) after the bread machine worked its magic. I then let the dough rise for an hour, brushed each with butter, and finally put the bread in the oven at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. I can't say I'm head over heels in love with the result. The brioche failed to achieve the deep golden brown crust, and it really wasn't dense enough for my liking. But all in all, this recipe is a satisfactory substitution for CB brioche for now.
The next brioche recipe on the horizon is from cooking legend, Julia Child. I've read good things about this recipe and book in general, so I'm very excited to try them out. And I'm even more excited because now I have the muscle of a KitchenAid mixer behind me. Woohoo for clearance markdowns!!

We don't have a corner bakery here, but that looks really good. When I get into a cooking/baking mood again( which happens once a year lol), I'll try it. lol
