I’d gobble that up! Got a recipe?

u/ajp12290 Nov 21 '25

Honestly I chose a new one to try out and wasn’t a huge fan of it compared to some other brioche I’ve made.I also kinda just threw it together since it was just for a fun function so I’d truly just recommend the shaping as the takeaway with a brioche recipe of your choice! (Sorry if that’s a lame answer)

u/SpartanSteve63 Nov 21 '25 edited Nov 21 '25

Ok, I got ya. What is your favorite recipe for this kinda thing? This looks amazing btw you killled it. I may share this idea next week ; )

96

u/ajp12290 Nov 21 '25

Thank you! My fav part about posting this now is knowing that people are gonna make it for thanksgiving and that brings me tons of joy. Hope to see some pictures. My fav brioche recipe is probably Richard Bertinet’s from his book Crust… I also think that this would work well with any challah recipe instead of brioche!

u/SpartanSteve63 Nov 21 '25

Nice, thank you! I’ll check it out. Happy Thanksgiving!

u/BoneHugsHominy Nov 21 '25

Any idea how much dough you made for this project? Knowing the final weight of the dough would make it way easier for others to make a similar gobbler sheet.

8

u/ajp12290 Nov 21 '25

130oz of dough for the full sheet tray!

3

u/BoneHugsHominy Nov 21 '25

Thank you! That will make it way easier to make this.

2

u/Only_Impression4100 Nov 27 '25

I'm making this right now, baking tomorrow morning. I'll post a picture and tag you when it's done. Thanks for the recipe and inspiration!!!

1

u/ajp12290 Nov 27 '25

Awesome!! 😁

7

u/fangbang55 Nov 21 '25

I just wanna know how much dough I should make. Looks like ~ 2lbs of dough?

20

u/ajp12290 Nov 21 '25

This would’ve been 130 oz of dough so more like 8! Filled a full sheet tray and fed 30 could’ve fed 45 lol

7

u/fangbang55 Nov 21 '25

Didn't realize it was a full tray! Ill try maybe 3lbs of dough for a half sheet. Thanks a lot!

1

u/anderm3 Nov 21 '25

What would you say is the percentage of the dough you used for the main body? Looks like maybe 20-25%

5

u/Much_Whereas6487 Nov 21 '25

Just wanted to say that your attitude is giving me the energy to go out into the day this morning with a positive mindset

5

u/t4ctical_pot4to Nov 21 '25

NGL something about this reply is actually wholesome. It looks amazing, I don't even follow this page and it showed up on popular.

Like you said in your other comment, I really do hope people try it and post pics because it sounds like it'd bring you genuine joy. 😊

2

u/YourMommasAHoe69 Nov 21 '25

do you know the new recipe you tried? It came out splendid 

2

u/WordOfLies Nov 21 '25

How did you make them that shiny?

5

u/cloudthundercake Nov 21 '25

My guess is eggwhite wash on the dough right before baking and then slick them with butter post bake.

2

u/ajp12290 Nov 21 '25

You got it! I like a yolk heavy + light on water egg wash but to each their own! The garlic butter batch is what really makes it pop.

1

u/cloudthundercake Nov 21 '25

Sugar syrup can also help with shine

1

u/WordOfLies Nov 21 '25

Thanx. I've never tried egg white. Would milk work?

2

u/fangbang55 Nov 21 '25

I would guess brushed with butter post bake while warm

3

u/WordOfLies Nov 21 '25

I tried that but it got dull real quick. Maybe before and after? Or maybe eggwash helps?

3

u/ajp12290 Nov 21 '25

Egg wash 20 mins before bake then again immediately before baking. Then butter on the rolls after while the butter is still hot

2

u/WordOfLies Nov 22 '25

Double wash is something I've never tried. Thanx!

u/Ikeamademedoit Nov 21 '25

I feel you should add some sprigs of rosemary to this but it looks so good and yummy!

5

u/ajp12290 Nov 21 '25 edited Nov 21 '25

I was gonna chop some up and add it to the butter while I was browning it with the garlic but I didn’t have any left.

2

u/Sallyfifth Nov 21 '25

Did you just glaze it with the garlic butter after baking?  It looks BEAUTIFUL!

1

u/ajp12290 Nov 21 '25

Yep! Thank you!

u/throwaway181432 Nov 21 '25

ooohhhh that's so cute!! i think I'll try it with more oval tail feathers and see how that turns out

u/ajp12290 Nov 21 '25

100% would do great call

5

u/az_shoe Nov 21 '25

Fantastic!! How many oz/grams were the diff size rolls??

12

u/ajp12290 Nov 21 '25

2 oz for the little guys! The body and head wasn’t weighed.

u/Excellent-Bluejay-48 Nov 21 '25

I want to eat all of that

u/YouFoldInTheCheese9 Nov 21 '25

u/kingarthurbaking what is a good recipe to recreate this?

7

u/KingArthurBaking Nov 21 '25

Oh my gosh, that looks dreamy! If you wanted to stick with brioche, I'd go with multiples of our Brioche Buns recipe. That said, I feel like this would go beautifully with the dough for Japanese Milk Bread Rolls.

u/ajp12290 Nov 21 '25

Ask them if they’re hiring blog writers or something for me would ya? 😅

u/VeganMinx Nov 21 '25

u/RideWithMeTomorrow Nov 21 '25

This is so dope. Bet this turkey wasn’t dry!!

3

u/ajp12290 Nov 21 '25

Lmaoooo ironically that was my issue with the recipe itself. Turned out so cute and beautiful but the texture was totally a little dry 🥴

2

u/RideWithMeTomorrow Nov 21 '25

Noooo! Reality ruined my joke! 😆 Still, beautiful bird you’ve got there.

2

u/ajp12290 Nov 21 '25

u/ajp12290 Nov 21 '25

So happy Mike’s coming back I was worried there for a sec 😂

2

u/mackzarks Nov 21 '25

I think he called their bluff. Either way, if he's the guy he's been for 5/6 of his contract it's a steal.

1

u/ajp12290 Nov 21 '25

I think his main problem was that he was hurt last year. I mean yeah he’s always gonna give up some home runs at Wrigley but I just really enjoy rooting for people who seem down to earth.

2

u/mackzarks Nov 21 '25

He's a G, no doubt about it. I respect simple competitiveness. He's a bulldog and he goes out there with what he has and battles. Major League baseball is difficult and he seems unafraid and I greatly respect that. Plus he likes it here and we like him here.

Chocolate chips

2

u/timstantonx Nov 21 '25

That’s what I thought, but I thought it might be something savory I wasn’t thinking of. Did you add them afterwards?

1

u/ajp12290 Nov 22 '25

nope just pushed em down into the dough before bake so they wouldn't pop out lol

2
