A delicious and traditional dish from Lyon, a city some say is the food capital in France |
PrintAbout this recipeThis is a delicious recipe, that you will find in the Lyon region in France |
 |
 | When I grew up in my Bugey, my mother served this wonderful dish and this was such a wonderful treat... A soft brioche dough with a salty sausage inside... the contrast of textures and tastes makes this a wonderful French meal |
Lyon, the town I love!I lived in Lyon for 7 years as a student at my college, and fell in love with this beautiful town in France |
 |
The view I had for so many yearsWhile a student, this is the view I could admire every day from my desk ! |
 |
 | From the Saint-Just / Fourvière area where my college was, I would walk down the hill and go through charming old streets, that were there already during the Romans. Do you know that Lyon was the Capital of France under the romans ? |
This bridge goes over the river Saone, one of the 2 rivers in Lyon (the other one is the more famous Rhône river) |

Source of the recipeOne of the famous local dishes is the Sausage in a Brioche ("Saucisson Brioché” ), a recipe I was provided by Madame d'Aubery |

If you have a stand mixer : that's perfect ! Just use the hook for the following instructions
With a bread machine |
With a bread machine : As I had to make this recipe at my friends' house, and as they didn't have a stand mixer, I had to make this recipe with their bread maker, and that proved to work perfectly as well
By hand |
By hand : You may also make the brioche by hand, with no electric appliance, just use a large bowl, a spatula and your magic hands!

5. If it's the first time you're making a brioche, you may think you ruined your dough but don't panic ! The butter does not incorporate well with the dough, and that's fine ! Just leave the stand mixer or the bread maker work... The
10 minutes
, we add theButter
(⅔ Cup or 150 g) cut in pieces, and not all at once, but rather in batches. It will need some time to absorb, just patient, trust my word : the dough will absorb theButter
(⅔ Cup or 150 g)...5. If it's the first time you're making a brioche, you may think you ruined your dough but don't panic ! The butter does not incorporate well with the dough, and that's fine ! Just leave the stand mixer or the bread maker work... The

in my case...

Cooking the sausage |
For the sausage, the cooks from Lyon use either a traditional French sausage, or local "Cervelat" sausage, which will be difficult to find abroad
You may substitute with a thick sausage (2.75" (or 2 3/4" or 7 cm) wide)
If you live in the States, you may find it in gourmet stores (check the brand : Fabrique Delices, "saucisse de morteau” ), or check online : www.fabriquedelices.com

How to avoid "the hole" |
11. If you do not "prepare" the sausage, it will release humidity while baking, and will create a "hole" inside the brioche, which is not considered as pretty in Lyon... Here are 2 techniques that I learned to avoid the "hole" :
12. Bocuse Technique : To avoid a hole between the sausage and the dough, the great Bocuse had a technique : dry out the sausage in preheated oven at 360 °F / 180 °C for about
13. d'Aubéry Technique : Brush the sausage with

13. d'Aubéry Technique : Brush the sausage with
egg yolk
and then coat withflour
(this will act like a 'glue' to adhere the dough with the sausage which will avoid the 'hole' )14.
