Brioche with pink pralines – Saint-Genix {without milk}
La brioche aux pralines roses c’est un peu l’équivalent du kouign amann pour les bretons ou le kouglof pour les alsaciens, c’est notre brioche à nous ! Le Saint-Genix c’est clairement pour moi le souvenir des goûters que l’on allait chercher à la boulangerie après l’école. Aujourd’hui je l’ai revisité 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 déguste avec une bonne boisson chaude au petit-déjeuner ou au goûter. 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 !

18.10.12And 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 ^^
Emilie
18.10.12Ah cool fans and connoisseurs of Saint Genix, it’s a bit like my Proust madeleine !!!
Marie
18.10.12Very pretty brioche, I imagine it very well accompanied by violet jam. 😀
Emilie

Natalie
18.10.12Drôme, I love this brioche from home ;-p

Thank you for sharing.

Emilie
18.10.12But I didn’t know that you were from Drôme…
I grew up in Valencia and still work there.
😉

Natalie
18.10.12Oh hey, I wrote it on a post where one of you 2 had posted photos of Grenoble mountains !
Actually, adopted Drôme, from Crest more precisely 😉
Emilie
18.10.12It is totally true. I remember it now…
Me too it’s adoption. Actually, I reached the age of 5 ans, but I am from Franche-Comté.
Kisses
Natalie
18.10.12Ah 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 ;-)).
BiZ
Emilie
18.10.12Totally agree with you…
But when it comes to character, I grew up in the south, If you know what I mean… 😉
Natalie
18.10.12And me between Corsica and Alsace… The result ? A strong character that I assume ;-))
Emilie
18.10.12Lol 😀

Elodie
18.10.12I 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 !!
Emilie
18.10.12Otherwise, you have to try to make them at home…

19.8.13Bonjour,
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 😉
LUCILE
8.10.13HELP !! 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
9.10.13Thank 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 !
key!it...
28.12.13Bonjour !
Thank you for this recipe which I will put into practice this afternoon.
As an aside, degas the dough with your fist. 😉
Emilie
28.12.13Thank you and good luck…
…corrected 😉
Charlie
11.12.14I discovered this delicious brioche during a vacation in St-Génix, 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 !
Emilie
14.12.14Oh yeah, once you know the brioche dough, we never leave it anymore 😉
Jack
25.3.15Hello,
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
26.3.15Yes, it’s the recipe that I use everywhere 😉 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 !!!
Alannie
16.5.21Successful and very appetizing, this beautiful brioche!thank you Emilie!
Emilie
16.5.21Thank you very much Annie 😉
ELISABETH
10.3.23Bonjour, 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
11.3.23Bonjour, 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..
