Steps
The Brioche Dough |
With the stand mixer |
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

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
You may substitute with a thick sausage (2.75" (or 2 3/4" or 7 cm) wide)

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

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
10 minutes
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.

“Bonne recette, j'ai fait la pâte à la main, j'ai fait cuire le saucisson dans un bouillon d'eau, vin blanc et oignon et après je l'ai passé 10 minutes au four, je l'ai laissé refroidir puis je l'ai fariné avant de le recouvrir de la pâte et aucun trou, je vais garder la recette, le résultat était très bon“
