Ciril Hitz Pain de Mie

has anyone tried baking Ciril Hitz Pain de Mie recipe?

I did and found it way too fatty, but as I usualy bake with only flour water and salt, It may be the reason way I though so... Either way I would like someone elses input on this, just to be sure.

PS. I'm loving his book, every other recipe that I tried was great.
