How did the brioche turn out. Was is as soft as the bought sort?
. I think it was a combination of not using bread flour and the eggs being a little too large .

A good excuse to try again when that lot is eaten up. Like you, until recently, I'd not eaten it before. I'd not fancied sweet plain bread, but now, having bought some to make the base of a frangipane apple tart https://thehappyfoodie.co.uk/recipes/mary-berrys-brioche-frangipane-apple-pudding/ which is very nice, I'm hooked.

SC Brioche is my favourite bread for french toast. Not made my own though just a sliced supermarket loaf.

The first daffs are flowering and the little purple crocus are popping up in the grass. Spring is almost here!

Bought a holly bush in a basket from Morries, reduced from £15.00 to £3.00! Why its in a basket I don't know?
I just hope it's got a root system and wasn'nt just a branch stuck in compost!

My big girl turned 5. We had her first birthday with friends instead of a small family party (or a lockdown, video chat party). I think fun was had.
