I have just the perfect recipe to use that đŸ˜€ its a rich sweet yeasted brioche dough filled with sweet sticky apple jam . the braided sticky brioche is glazed with pumpkin pie spice and toasted crunchy walnuts on top đŸ˜‰
The braiding of the brioche is like how you would braid your hair. Even tho I do know how to braid hair, I kinda kept messing the brioche braiding up until it looked like this. You can check out the kitchn’s page for some braiding techniques . You can also make apple jam braided brioche into apple jam “Cinnamon roll” styled rolls. Apple jam loaf in a bread tin works too!
