Braiding brioche

This month I chose to try: Brioche. Looking at the recipe itself, it looks like fancy schmancy challah really...with butter.

I admit it. The only reason I made brioche is so I can make it into something else...

Now the tricky part was how to shape it. There were all sorts of options. Put it in a loaf pan, shaped pan, etc. I decided to go easy. I braid challah in a round for Rosh Hashana so I did the same for the brioche. 

So pretty!

It made killer french toast.

It also was incredible for bread pudding, which became my husband's birthday dessert (he doesn't care for cake).

Now bake that!
