You can bake brioche in any bread tin. I use two narrow tins for this recipe, mostly because I like the shape.

As for the mixer, it is possible to make this without one, it just requires a lot of stirring a sticky mass of dough by hand. I've made breads like this in the past without one, but now that I own a mixer, I'll never go back.

Peppered brioche sounds wonderful. I'd love to pair it with goats cheese and some roasted baby beets.

Love your blog and the pictures you include--thanks for sharing this recipe. The topic of this blog is, interestingly, one I've been thinking about a lot lately...chef "plagiarism" could be a huge issue, but it seems the culture of the kitchen seems to foster a respect for other chefs' hard work and innovation. Thanks for your insights!

I love that philosophy you have! It probably speak more to your caliber as a human than it does as a chef, and I am sure that you are fabulous at both! That brioche looks amazing. Great pictures as well. It actually makes me feel bad about eating those 9 girl scout cookies I just ate. Maybe I will print this out and gnaw on it!

For what it's worth, my tip is that when reading recipes like this you put plastic wrap over the keyboard to prevent drool damage ... I've managed 25 years of cooking without a dough hook, but I may be about to change that.

have you ever tried peppered brioche? just add some cracked black pepper in the dough at the end (or sprinkle it on the crust if you don't want it mixed it) and it's delicious. The Extra bite that the pepper adds, especially with a sweet topping, is wonderful. it's as unexpected as cayenne in chocolate, but just as delicious!

Oh I wish I had a mixer for this!

i really love this glimpse into a chef's kitchen, it makes me feel like a part of a secret society. I won't be able to make this anytime soon, but have no doubt that it is delicious! Beautiful photos, as usual!

I work in a research lab, and the work environment sounds very similar. Every thing we do must be written down in our lab book. When we leave, the original stays with the lab and the worker gets to take a copy. I had no idea restaurants were so much like the science industry. It will be another few years before I have my electric mixer, but I'll keep this recipe on hand for when I get it!

On no, no, no, my dear! I'll be sending you a bill.

I suppose you could wash some dishes or chop something for me...

Let me know how the brioche turns out, Kanmuri.

You read my mind, I have been thinking about making Brioche (my first time but not my first baking.) Don't worry I'll add the extra butter and will be sure to not pass it along until I am dead and my sons find the recipe in my files.
