Brioche is a French bread,characterized by a rich,sweet flavor and flaky texture that almost makes it feel like a pastry,rather than a bread. It is often served as a breakfast food and can be sweet or more savory,depending on how the recipe is manipulated.The sweeter versions are sometimes confused with cake,but they really are bread,since they are leavened with yeast and kneaded.Many French bakeries sell this bread,and it can also be made at home.

黄油鸡蛋圆面包是一种法式面包,具有香甜可口,外酥里嫩的特点,吃起来像糕点,而不像面包。它主要在早餐时候食用,制作时可根据食谱来决定它的甜度。最甜的黄油鸡蛋圆面包可比肩蛋糕,但是它们的确还是一种面包,因为制作它们的时候放了酵母,并揉捏面团。许多法国面包店都有销售这种面包,但它也可以在家制作。

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 bottomand 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.

黄油鸡蛋圆面包的来历可追溯到15世纪,这种面包本身也许更古老。它的名字起源于面包或面团的许多形状。最经典的形状就是底部凹陷,顶部凸出的那种,并在特殊的烤盘里制成。这种面包还可以做成普通的形状,也可以做成环状的,小圆面包的形状更常见,最好热的时候食用。

Sweet varieties can be filled with things like fresh or candied fruit or chocolate. The dough may be given some extra sweetness to complement the filling,making the dish particularly decadent.Savory versions are filled with vegetables or meats,depending on the taste of the coOK.In all cases,it has a light,flaky crust with a high gloss,caused by brushing the dough with egg before baking.

黄油鸡蛋圆面包在制作的时候可以放一些甜料,比如甜果或巧克力。面团也额外放些糖作为补充,让味道更厚重些。根据各种不同口味,需要放蔬菜、肉类等等。所有黄油鸡蛋圆面包在制作的时候,都在面团外层涂上了鸡蛋,让它们烤出来带有一层薄薄的脆皮光泽。
