With this channel, everything I've tried, works out because nothing is left out. Thanks so much for the details, the explanations and the recipes. You're making me a better baker, and for that I'm grateful.

I do cardamom cinnamon buns slightly different - I add cardamom powder in dough and cinnamon powder use for filling, also I use orange zest or orange peels.

Made these last weekend. They were a-ma-zing... Thanks for the video!!

Oh yes! I will be making this beauties for sure! What a nice channel!

Looks good. Thank you so much for the recipe.

I love that you demystify all of the recipes and it makes it easier for me to try. Merry Christmas

Completely agree. It’s extremely versatile, smooth, silky, beautiful. By far my favorite dough to work with. I’ll often make a double batch and use it throughout the week for various things.

Perfect recipe for the holidays, just what I needed, one half for the cinnamon buns, and the other half for a brioche loaf to use with some liver pate 👍🏻

I'm trying to rationalize the festive bakes so it doesn't get too decadent, but one of these brioche recipes of yours must make it to the final list this year. 🎆 TY for all the ideas!

These look amazing!

I made these yesterday and they came out so delicious, very light, sticky on top. I used your instructions for making the brioche dough by hand. Thank you so much for sharing such a good recipe.

Thank you! ANOTHER great lesson and I really appreciate you saying what the Fahrenheit temperatures are! This was also wonderful to see how you mixed it in the. Kitchenaid. My hands aren’t what they used to be and I’m resigned to using the mixer as needed. What I really loved about this recipe is it’s like a cinnamon roll but “upscale,” and I love how you shaped them.

Finally baked these this evening - I even obtained cardamom pods and ground the cardamom. What a difference that made - the aroma while grinding and baking and the taste is outstanding!. They came out a bit wonky (need to tighten up the balls next time - however, I was able to experience and witness "wobbly balls" 😉, so I knew they were ready to bake. The wonderfulness of it all: the flavor combination, the soft and rich brioche, the crunchy pistachios and the sweet sticky goodness. Thank you so very much for this recipe.

I love how you made some cardamom buns but with brioche! I got to try it, cheers from Sweden where those are quite popular! Can definitely recommend baking these kind of recipes as rolls that you put next to each other (or at least, so they stick to each other when fully proofed) in something with high sides. That way all the fillings stays in all the buns and they get super ''juicy'', even if you don't have that much filling! My old teacher used to say ''apply the filling as if someone elsa paid for it. Then you'll get enough!'' and I think it applies well to these buns as well haha, as it does for cardamom and cinnamon buns.

That is the reason for using cold ingredients. We don't want it to ferment too quickly. If you make warm brioche then it will over proof in the fridge. Of course, if you want your dough to rise sooner, then use warmer ingredients. Temperature control and fermentation times are totally up to you.

Delicioso!

These look delicious, they really do! And I would love to make them but there is no way I can get 24C in my kitchen - or anywhere else in the house tbh - at this time of year. Well I could but it would cost me a fortune. Usual temp is 16-17C.

The great thing about home baking is that we can actually measure the amount of each ingredient and count calories. My husband put himself on a diet, and was afraid he would not be able to eat bread, so I tweaked a recipe, and after I got a good soft bread with a high fiber content, (I added vital wheat gluten to make the bread softer, and wheat bran for extra fiber) I was able to show my husband how much each sandwich roll had in calories, carbs, fiber, protein, etc. It was nice for him to be able to eat a sandwich and know that the bread was not only fresh and tasty, but healthy and homemade. By the way, his diet was pre-covid, and he's kept that 60 lb off. I am very proud of him.

Not quite on topic, but speaking of cardamom... I have an old recipe for julekage (Christmas bread) handed down through my husband's family from Norway. I used to make it, then I didn't have time, then I got rheumatoid in my hands. Now I'm trying to relearn it, and I'm using a stand mixer for the kneading. It doesn't turn as stretchy as some bread dough, and I'm wondering if it ought to do so or if it's just that the amount of sugar and yummy fruits inside such keeps it from doing so. Would you be willing to look it over and help me get a better sense of how this bread works? (it comes out delicious as I make it, but very soft - softer than my husband remembers it)
