Brioche is a french fluffy dough bread that includes eggs, milk, sugar and butter, it's something between a bread and a cake and it tastes like heaven!!!

You can find various versions in several other countries like in my home country, Greece, that we call them "tsourekia".

It's a recipe that I just loooooove and was missing from my blog despite the fact that I am baking them often, so let's start 2019 with this recipe ....

Galette des Rois with Real Frangipane (French Almond King Cake)

Every January in France, bakeries fill their windows with golden Galette des Rois to celebrate Epiphany. Inside the crisp puff pastry hides a creamy almond filling and a small charm called a fève. Whoever finds it becomes the king or queen of the day!

This homemade version uses real frangipane (a mix of almond cream and pastry cream) for a rich, bakery-style galette that is surprisingly easy to make. At the end, I also provide a quick and simple almond filling for those who prefer a faster version.
