Easter Brunch Worth Waking Up For: My No-Knead Brioche


Bonjour!

This week, I’m shining a spotlight on a recipe that’s very close to my heart and just perfect for your Easter or spring weekend brunch table.

Say bonjour to my No-Knead French Brioche.

It’s soft, golden, and so buttery it practically melts on your tongue. Whether you serve it warm with jam, toasted with butter, or even transformed into French toast, it brings a little French bakery magic right into your kitchen.

This Week’s Recipe Spotlight

Easiest No Knead French Braided Brioche

No fancy mixer. No kneading. Just a bit of time and a whole lot of flavor.

Here's why I love it for Easter brunch:

  • It can be made the day before
  • It's just sweet enough to pair with both savoury and sweet sides
  • It looks (and tastes) like you bought it from a French patisserie!

"Oh i have a weakness for brioche... just reading this made my mouth water. I could literally eat a whle loaf in one sitting - with butter of course!"
