*How to make your brioche
To make a successful light brioche with a stringy crumb or brioches in general, you need a good so-called “strong” flour: This designation is given to flours rich in gluten, to allow the gluten network to develop during kneading. In the general public trade, you can find oatmeal flour that meets this criterion.
Fermentation: A rested dough is a dough that will release all its aromas during cooking, so do not neglect this time.
