Wow! Yours actually looks like a bread dough. If you look at mine, it’s more like a pudding. I still don’t know what I did wrong, but despite that I really loved it. Brown butter and a profuse amount of sugar probably helped.

I’ve worked with yeast before with Babka and Brioche, and the only thing I can think of that I did wrong was I forgot to proof the yeast before adding the flour. I wouldn’t think that would make such a difference but maybe it did.

Yours look great! Thanks for taking all those photos, I know how much of a pain taking and loading pics can be!

Ooh, you’re probably right about the salt. I’m not sure if you’d need to increase the yeast then, though. But if it’s any consolation, they look as perfect as can be– maybe with more than a smattering of salted butter, heh heh

Love your mini brioche kugelhopfs! So adorable. Mine was bland and dry so I was disappointed. Maybe you’re right about the salt amount. All I know is it needed something for an extra oompf! Maybe some chocolate… Oh well. I guess we can’t like them all right?

I’m sorry you didn’t like the way they tasted. Your mini-kugelhopfs look pretty and perfect anyway.

I had to look it up too. Same with last week. Your mini’s in the brioche molds look perfect. I like the portable, individual size of them. Great job!
