What a delightful change from the normal "eggs and meat" breakfast! I've never really tried brioche, so I'm not sure what it is suppose to taste like, but I am ECSTATIC at how these turned out! Rich, moist, a little sweet and dense.
I actually messed up the recipe from the start, by combining all of the flour and dry ingredients, rather then portioning out the flour. So after I mixed all the dry ingredients I spooned out what was needed according to the recipe. I added closer to 2 tsp of lemon peel, as that's what I had grated. The morning of baking I split the dough in half. With 1 half I cut it into 8 pieces, rolled them into balls and them put them into a bread pan. With the other half I cut it into 6 pieces and rolled them into balls and placed them in a round cake pan. I baked both at the same time and they turned out SO YUMMY!
Be careful to not overbake them though, 20 mins. was just a little too long for the ones in the cake pan, but just right for the loaf pan.
Try it plain before putting anything on them, as they are very flavorful on their own! My girls liked it best topped with cream cheese and raspberry jam, the boys liked it with gouda cheese and smoked turkey. I liked it all, even with just a little butter and a hot cup of coffee!
