Brioche

I made a batch of brioche dough last weekend, but only got around to baking with it this morning. I split the batch and froze portions earlier in the week (when it became obvious that I wouldn't have time to use it!). It defrosted in the fridge overnight, no problem. This weekend's experiment....Apple & Pear Coffee Cake from Artisan Bread In Five Minutes A Day. So easy, so so good. I didn't have an 8 inch cake pan (I know- it's shocking!) that I thought was deep enough, so used an 8x8 square instead.

Streusal topping- oats, sugar, flour, butter & cinnamon.

Apples, pear, more sugar & orange zest.

Assemble.
Bake.

And, make Cinnamon Twists with the scraps of dough.

These were baked a smidge too long, but good with coffee nonetheless.
