Notes
For a raisin Brioche, add about 200g of raisins to the dough. For an almond loaf, you like to use 150g of chopped almonds in the dough. However, the additions make the Easter bread a little more unstable for the bread topping.
You are also welcome to use special bread pans for baking. We like to use a yeast plait baking pan or knot the dough directly as a yeast plait. If the baking pan is already filled to the top when you fill it, you should take off some dough.
Since the yeast will puff up a bit more in the oven, it may happen that the dough runs onto the oven floor. We then simply use the dough for a few Brioche muffins, which we then place directly on the plates at breakfast.
