Brioche is a pastry or a type of bread that comes from French origin. It's a sweet, French bread that is made from dough. The brioche has a dark, crusty, and golden crust. which are shown more prominently after being "proofed" by eggs. The other ingredients that are used in the brioche besides are butter, soft flour, milk, sugar, salt, and yeast. It's often used in sweet dishes, especially when it's dipped in chocolate sauce.

There are two forms of brioche that people can make. The first form - Brioche à tête - is where the brioche is baked into a round tin with the dough placed on top of it. By placing the dough on top of the tin, it creates the 'head', hence the word 'tête' in its name. The second form of brioche is Brioche Nanterre. This type of brioche is a loaf of brioche, which is made in a standard loaf pan. Instead of having a dough and baking them together, the brioche is separated into two loaves.

Brioche is a kind of bread and dough the can be made into many shapes (hence having two forms of brioche that people can make). It's usually served warm, and often takes for the form of an individual bun.


The term “brioche” dates back to at least the 1400s, and the bread itself may be even older. The word is a name for a style of bread and dough that can be made in a number of shapes. A classic shape has a fluted bottom and an upper protruding knob, and is made in a special brioche pan. The bread can also be made like a regular loaf, or it can be braided or molded into a ring. It often takes the form of an individual bun, served warm.
