brioche he uses to make sandwich hors d'ouerves. Here's the recipe for the
bread and the sandwich: he gives recipe for mixer and hand combination

sugar baking powder sale ant 2 One half cup flour. Blend at low then beat at
medium for 2 minutes. Stir in remaining flour by hand and knead till smooth
[35 minutes]. Shpe into round loaves and place in greased large brioche
molds or 1 lob coffee cans. Cover and let rist until light, about 45
minutes. Bake at 350 until golden brown and done, about 45 minutes remove
