Steamed Brioche Buns: Part 2



Brioche, Dill Creme Fraiche Mousse, Caviar, Lemon Bubbles...Amusing

Steamed Brioche Buns...Part 1

My sourdough starter is finally past the 10 day period. It has been like babysitting a child that constantly craves the attention (of being stirred) and screams to be fed (milk, yeast, and bread flour once every 3 days). Well I guess the comparison of a starter dough and a nurturing a child is irrelvant but you get the idea. The point is i'm excited about food and ready to do 300 amuse bouche's. Let's go!
