Brioche has numerous uses in cuisine and can take on various forms, served plain or filled, as coulibiac, or with many other different savory fillings, such as fillet of beef en croute, foie gras, sausage, cervelat lyonnais. Brioche de Nanterre is a loaf of brioche made in a standard loaf pan. Brioche can also be made in a pan without being rolled into balls to make an ordinary loaf. Common recipes have a flour to butter ratio of about 2:1. Refrigeration also stiffens the dough, which still rises, albeit slowly, making it easier to form. The first recorded use of the word in French dates from 1404.
It is attested in 1611 in Cotgrave’s A Dictionarie of the French and English Tongues, where it is described as “a rowle, or bunne, of spiced bread” and its origin given as Norman. In Gisors, on market days, they produce up to 250 or 300 kg of brioches. This saying is commonly misattributed to Queen Marie-Antoinette, wife of Louis XVI.
