In class, we used cake yeast and I prefer the results to the dry yeast,it's just I didn't have any and didn't want to venture out in the rain to get it. I'm not sure of what the results of Rapid Rise would be and since the recipe I developed calls for 6 eggs and 3/4 lb. of butter, I'm not sure I would try it--that's expensive ingredients to throw out if it doesn't work.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14263263554924074661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236430084801008700.post-77766547299931055032013-01-08T08:16:47.353-08:002013-01-08T08:16:47.353-08:00I am drooling over your description of the bread p...I am drooling over your description of the bread pudding you made. I first had a Brioche bread pudding in New Orleans and was in heaven. It DOES make a difference and I was happier than a pig in a mud hole when I learned how to make it myself. It is easy, easy, easy...just the wait time is hard, but if you start it in the late afternoon, it won't seem so bad.

Brioche is my favorite bread of all times & even here in Portland is not easy to find so you have inspried me to try making it myself. Last month I toasted cubes of brioche and made a pumpkin, eggnog, cranberry & maple syrup bread pudding. It was the best thing I had the entire Holiday season. I can't wait to try your recipie so I can produce my own deliciousness. Also, if you live near a Trader Joes I bought the Kerry butter there and it was less expensive than regular butter at my chain store supermarket ($2.39). This bread is both light & rich tasting at the same time. Everything you make with it will be kicked up several notches. Can you tell I'm a fan? Thanks again Susan & Happy New Year to you and your family.Ellen in Oregonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03484004145095198712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236430084801008700.post-40118134066122291482013-01-07T20:53:51.178-08:002013-01-07T20:53:51.178-08:00Oh, I would have loved to have tea with you Susan....Oh, I would have loved to have tea with you Susan.The brioche looks divine.
