Rocky process, but good result
I've been a little hesitant to bake for three-kings-day since this attempt. And I don't know what it is, but again many things went wrong during the process of baking a Brioche des Rois. Added too little milk, forgot the egg and couldn't find the little people to put inside of the bread (one day later I came across them in a totally un-logical place). I didn't read the recipe too well beforehand, probably because it is in french, and missed the line that said 'put the dough a night in our fridge'. I wouldn't have any time that next day, so I skipped the waiting part. And still, different from the other try, a perfectly delicious brioche came out. The girls have, since then, been asking repeatedly when we will eat it again. Sixth of january is such a long wait, we'll have it for our next sunday-lunch, with a 'feve' inside.

funny! we do the brioche des rois in Mexico too! it's called ring of kings, and we also stick in people in it! well, not people, but little plastic baby jesuses. I thought it was a 100% mexican tradition...
Oh, brioche brood is moeilijk. Ik heb een vriendin die kan dit brood heel goed bakken. Heerlijk met eigen gemaakte Lemmon-curt. Die kleine stenen figuurtjes heb ik ook van een videgrinier in Frankrijk. Fijne zondag!
In Frankrijk kun je de hele maand januari 'gallets des rois' kopen, dus je hoeft het niet tot 6 Januari uit te houden hoor!
