Cream Bread, Soft Brioche with Cream

Today for breakfast I prepared the brioche with cream, also known as cream bread. I often make brioche, in fact my Basic Sweet Brioche Dough is unmatched. Delicious, super soft. However, today, since I had some leftover cream from my godchild’s birthday cake, I slightly modified the recipe. The result was wonderful as always, soft, melts in your mouth, it resembles the taste of pandoro. Try it because it’s really good. I also leave you other ideas for delicious brioche.
