Flexipan 6 Financiers Mold

you never cut brioche with a knife. I've been working on brioche dough for the past month, mostly making loaves of bread for toast and sandwiches. The French are talking about brioche a tete. the little rolls with the "crown" top, which is what you bake in this pan.For usable bread dough, slicable and good in a sandwich or toast, you need a brioche with more crumb. Easy to do by lightening up the butter to about 30% ratio to flour. But for brioche a tete - these rolls - you need at least 60% butter to flour ratio and a long knead after your butter is worked into the dough - at least 15 minutes. What you get then is a satin-soft dough that rises slowly until you retard its rising overnight in the refrigerator. Next morning, you take the dough out, let it warm to room temp, shape into 50-60g balls, shape and place in this ungreaded pan. Couple of hours of rising doesn't hurt, those French, they're never in a hurry.Long story short, this pan makes gorgeous brioche a tete, the ones the bakery doesn't sell any more, the ones with the fluted bases, the egg wash topped shiny crowns, and that indescribable texture (satin? silk?). They pop right out without the pan ever needing greasing, and almost no clean up.You reward yourself with an afternoon brioche after your two days of work, and then you have breakfast to look forward to. And you don't have to cut it with a knife - as the French do, you simply tear pieces off.Life is as good as you make it.

This works as well as it should for brioche à tête. Only issue was getting the dough in the oven, since silicone is flimsy.Easy to clean with soap and water and air dry.

Perfect - just as described. I will note that the Briochette pan is the same size as the mini-brioche pan. One is 6. One is 8. Only difference!Silpat The Original Mini-Brioche... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BFG5MG78?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
