Brioche with pink pralines – Saint-Genix {without milk}

Recette de Saint Genix

La brioche aux pralines roses c’est un peu l’Ă©quivalent du kouign amann pour les bretons ou le kouglof pour les alsaciens, c’est notre brioche Ă  nous ! Le Saint-Genix c’est clairement pour moi le souvenir des goĂ»ters que l’on allait chercher Ă  la boulangerie après l’Ă©cole. Aujourd’hui je l’ai revisitĂ© en version sans lait, une version filante et gourmande avec du sucre casson sur le dessus pour que ça croustille !

La brioche au pralines est une brioche gourmande,

que l’on dĂ©guste avec une bonne boisson chaude au petit-dĂ©jeuner ou au goĂ»ter. In short, it’s not the kind of brioche we make every day. (besides it was a yawn, genre 5 ans, that I hadn't done any !), but a little decadence and gluttony doesn't hurt ! And then if you have any pralines left, you can do another one or make some chouquettes !

    And and, I envy you ! Since I spent my vacation in Ardèche and discovered this brioche for breakfast, I fell in love with it (Yes yes, it's possible). I always have pralines in my cupboard now ^^

            Ah if we continue to chat about the regions, I have to say that I met the warmest people ever known in Franche-Comté. (little attention to readers : that doesn't mean that people elsewhere are cold, but go to Franche-Comté and you will understand ;-)).

    I tasted it on my way to Annecy and I loved it ! I will try this recipe though apart from the supermarket, in the north, pink pralines are not common.
    The pralines are completely different !!

    Bonjour,
    I discovered pralulin, Last year. It's excellent. During demos organized by one of our suppliers, she's still all the rage. The link on my name takes you to the demo video
    Thank you for the recipe because the cook doesn’t always give everything đŸ˜‰

  • LUCILE
    8.10.13

    HELP !! I tried 2 times the recipe, and the 2 same observation : the brioche swells well but after adding the pralines, it remains compact. So the taste is there, but the brioche is not as airy as desired…
    Do you have a tip? ?

    Thank you in advance !!!

    • Emilie
      9.10.13

      Thank you for your message Lucile but I don’t see at all what could be happening, you just shouldn't rework the dough too much after the first rise, just degas it and add the pralines. I hope I helped you anyway !

    I discovered this delicious brioche during a vacation in St-GĂ©nix, there is good 5 or 6 years ago… every time I stay speechless in front of the pink pralines at the baker, telling myself that I must taste this delight again, but not having the courage to get there… I think I'll be able to try your recipe which looks relatively easy. !

    Many thanks !

    Hello,
    Well, here I am, I found your brioche dough recipe which we enjoyed with the brioche sausage ! I am surprised by the final rising time … You put it in the fridge for the night ?
    Oh, I'm from the south of Grenoble. A small village called St Paul de Varces

    • Emilie
      26.3.15

      Yes, it’s the recipe that I use everywhere đŸ˜‰ Yes, the cold sets the aromas and it is only better if you reserve it at least 1 cool hour !
      Oh yes Saint Paul de Varces is not very far !!!

  • ELISABETH
    10.3.23

    Bonjour, thank you for this recipe it looks great !
    I am in the process of making it, but at the end of kneading the edges of the dough come away from the bowl but it seems to remain very liquid and does not form a ball. Is this normal ? Do you have any advice? ?

    • Emilie
      11.3.23

      Bonjour, it can depend on a lot of factors, at this moment, Don't hesitate to add a little flour to get the right dough texture..
