National Brioche Day

National Brioche Day celebrates brioche (pronounced bree-osh), a French bread made with enriched dough. According to St Pierre, the founder of the day and a purveyor of brioche baked goods, "It's a day for indulgence, culinary creativity and bringing a little bit of Paris to the everyday with a true French bakery classic." The list of ingredients used to make brioche includes flour, sugar, eggs, milk, yeast, and sometimes salted butter. With a rich taste, light sweetness, and golden color, it is richer and more indulgent than regular bread, but can be used in place of it in most instances. It is used in sweet and savory dishes, at any time of the day, for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner, and for desserts and snacks. In France, brioche is often eaten for breakfast or for a snack in the afternoon. Brioche perdue, or pain perdu, is French toast made with brioche, and means "lost brioche" in French, since making it is a way to use up leftover brioche. Brioche is used as a bun for hot dogs and burgers, with sandwiches such as grilled cheese, and to make sweet casseroles and croutons.
