Scaling down Le Pain Brioche recipe
I am new to this board. I absolutely love the great recipe and information! Many years ago I made Le Pain Brioche, this is a lighter version of enriched dough with less fat and eggs than regular brioche, but more than pain au lait. The taste is wonderful. I made this on a larger scale for a restaurant but I would like to know if it is possible to scale down the recipe to yeild 4-6 loaves. Thanks for all your help!
