Peanuts Brioche

Brioche is classic French, rich in butter and eggs, melt in the mouth texture.
I found the Brioche recipe with almond powder to make crumb moisture.

I arranged it that I used Peanuts Butter instead of Almond powder and less butter.
According to the recipe, they use half butter of flour.

On the process, the dough has to be placed at the fridge before shaping. You will need 2 days to make it.
The rich buttered dough like croissant, brioche, pastry...have to be chilled to handle it.

Brioches are traditional baked in fluted tins,  but I don't have one. I shaped into small balls. And sprinkle crushed peanuts and sugar for decoration.


I used crunchy type of peanuts butter. If you like smooth type, you could get soft smooth texture.
Peanuts butter gives well brown color and nice nuts aroma.

I like them to have with spread of extra peanuts butter or unsalted butter. They could be nice for Sunday breakfast.
