Recipe: Quick Brioche Sausage

1 Gently melt your butter and mix it into the flour.

2 Dissolve your baker's yeast in the lukewarm milk.

3 Beat your 2 eggs as if making an omelette and incorporate them into the flour, then add the sugar, salt, dissolved yeast, and mix your dough.

4 Place your dough in a loaf pan and let it rest for two hours at room temperature.

5 Meanwhile, in a saucepan, put the onion studded with cloves, the carrot and garlic cloves, add the bouquet garni, salt, pepper, then pour in the white wine and 1.5 to 1.75 liters (1.8 qt) of water (depending on the size of the sausage) and let it simmer for 30 minutes.

6 Preheat your oven to 200 °C (390°F) (gas mark 6-7).

7 Press your sausage into the dough so that it is well centered. Dissolve an egg yolk with a tablespoon of water (egg wash) and brush the top of your brioche with it.

8 Bake for 25 to 30 minutes and let it rest for another five minutes with the oven turned off.

9 Serve beautiful thick, hot slices of your sausage brioche with a nice green salad, for example.
