First post + Brioche recipe ! - Tasty and Frenchy

Hi!

Welcome to my blog! My name is Mary and this is my first post on this blog. I’m really excited and so happy to share with you my tasty recipes. I’m French, I come from Paris. Now, I live in Pennsylvania with my fiancé. Food is my passion, everything about it interested me. Since I’ve been in the US, I want to discover the American culture and the American food. I spend my time watching Food Network! I want to understand what American people likes.

For my first post, I want to share with you a very Frenchy recipe: a brioche. In France, breads and viennoiseries are very appreciated. We don’t eat brioche every day but we like it for the weekend, especially for Sunday’s breakfast. We like it with good French butter and jam.

Actually, this recipe is simple and you don’t need very special ingredients. But you have to be patient. To make a good bread, you have to wait for the dough to grow.

I hope you will like this recipe!

Ps : I’m French, my english is not perfect, forgive me for that 🙂
