Zosia from Toronto, ON
Delicious combination of juicy summer fruits and tangy cream baked on a tender, buttery brioche base and topped with a golden almond crunch….
It starts with this brioche dough, which is rolled out and left to rise after its overnight rest in the fridge. It’s then topped with rich mascarpone cream, fresh plums and berries. The final touch is a crumble topping with cinnamon and almonds.
The dough looked a little overloaded with toppings but the bread base did expand as well as rise during baking so the topping distribution was very balanced in the end. I omitted the melted butter on the fruit and the fresh passion fruit and neither was missed.
I served this for dessert but it would make a very special brunch or afternoon treat.
