Don't blame me. A couple of my friends were coming over yesterday afternoon for coffee, and I wanted something good to go with, and that brioche in five recipe popped into my head, and it's fall and I thought cinnamon and why not cinnamon buns? Now, I have never made traditional brioche, so I don't know what that's like, but let me tell you, if it's better than this recipe, it should be illegal! I can't even explain to you how good these were. There was a delicate crispness to the tops where they had browned, and the insides were soft and pillowy. There was a lot of moaning as we pulled them apart with our fingers and ate them. There were enough so that I could give the girls some to take home with them, but oh, out of the oven has to be the best. Not to mention how good the house smelled.
I thought of them kind of last minute, so I didn't have cream cheese for the topping, just made a glaze with a little orange juice, some half and half and confectioner's sugar. Next time, I'd like to try a little cardamom powder in the dough, and some toasted pecans and orange zest mixed with the cinnamon sugar between the layers. OMG This is the recipe that inspired me. https://krausnickitchen.com/2013/02/23/cinnamon-buns-using-five-minutes-a-day-brioche/
Please, make some for yourself, for your family or for your friends. They will absolutely love you. And this dough is SIMPLE. Honestly. How it is so easy and manages to be so good, is beyond me. It just is. You can't see the steam in this pic, but trust me, it was steaming as I broke it open, and that steam smelled of yeast and cinnamon and sweetness...heaven. Make yourself some. :-D
