Couronne Brioche

I wanted to create a shareable filled brioche, multi texture with the dough, craquelin and pastry cream Cacao Powder Collection added value: The Légère 1% Cacao Powder does not add any unnecessary fats and helps getting a better volume on the dough. On the contrary, Extra Brute Cacao Powder is used for its high fat content to bring a nice texture. Tips: Do not overmix the brioche dough has it may develop too much volume and rip
