The recipe is excellent, but it would be nice if you would show the technique for forming the classic french brioche with the crown on top,
either in mini molds or one large.
Jack, it would be nice indeed - I was trying to break people in gently. It's pretty difficult to get a nice-looking classic brioche - the topknot invariably slips down. I wanted to make this recipe accessible first. Do you have any good hints about how to make a fail-safe, nice-looking classic brioche? Please share! PJH
