Bubble~Top Brioche Rolls

A perfect recipe for a cold winter's day ~

Per Nana:

Anyone who has made a New Year's resolution to start

 a diet should skip this week's FFWD recipe.

Hubby and I had the butter waiting before the

 timer went off.  These little rolls are so good.

Seriously, the recipe is a bit time consuming, but well worth it.

I prepared the dough as instructed, and put the bowl in the 

refrigerator overnight.  When I removed it in the morning I thought

 the dough was quite stiff and might turn out tough, but all went well.

My brioches may not have the bubble top effect that

Dorie is showing in her book, but they were delicious.

 About two months ago I started cleaning out the basement,

 sorting thru old pans and cupcake tins intending to purchase new,

 but have not gotten that far yet.  The only pans I had left were

 my popover pans and maybe that is the reason my bubble top

 did not come out as planned.

Per Tricia:

While I have not met a carb I didn't like, I was actually prepared to
 "not like" this one simply because of the amount of time involved.
As I have shared in  previous posts, we have an amazing bakery outlet
(Le Bus) near my office and I do enough damage there. 



But French Friday is French Friday and while I anticipated these
would be good - the results were more impressive than I expected. 
 I also figure that no matter what else I serve company for dinner, if
I have these on the table and my house smells this  good .....the meal 
will be a winner.  My prior "fall back" had been to simply keep
 refilling the wine glasses - there is usually a direct relationship between
wine consumption and meal compliments.  I will now arm myself with Brioche. 

Thank you Dorie !!
