Blueberry and Lemon Goodness

I've been digging deeper into Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. This weekend I tried the lemon blueberry wreath recipe that is made with the brioche dough. Wow! Brioche dough merits the fancy french pronunciation of brioche...shhhhh. The full batch contains three sticks (yes, that's 3) of butter and eight eggs. The color of the dough and the subsequent bread truly reflects all of the yolks that have been happily included in the mixture. I'd love to try it again with the eggs from my own future chickens... or at least from someone else's free range ladies.

The recipe includes the directions to make your own lemon curd, but I used some from a jar. It was on hand and I've made lemon curd before, so I remembered how labor intensive it can be. You roll out the dough into a large rectangle, topping it with the lemon curd. I used fresh blueberries to spread out over the lemony goodness, before rolling it up into a log and pinching it together to form a wreath. Once wreath shaped, you make slices every 1 1/2"-2" and nudge them in and out of the circle, to form the shape you see above. (It was 6:00 a.m. when I was doing the arranging... I wanted a photo, but there were none to be found!) It is then topped with a beaten egg and sprinkled liberally with sugar. In the oven for 35-40 minutes, it made our house smell wonderful!
The taste was even more wonderful. As I ate my third slice I realized that if I'm not careful, I could be happily eating these every day. The bucket of dough is still in my fridge... what other fun combinations could I come up with at 6:00 tomorrow morning??
