This brioche recipe can be served with jelly or other preserves to accompany tea or coffee with paté or hors d'oeuvres. The tops of the small rolls can easily be pulled away, giving space for a sweet or savory filling. Brioche dough can also be used for wrapping other ingredients such as beef for boeuf-en-croûte, salmon filling for a koulibiaca, or spicy garlic sausage.
