You're starting to understand that I love citrus, huh... Lemon in pastries is one of my favorite things! If you've ever been to Campania (the region of Naples and the Amalfi Coast for example), you can see where I got my inspiration for these brioches 😍😍

Here we make a lemon cream and spread it on a brioche dough that we roll up and cut into sections! It's easier than it looks ;)

  • Prepare the brioche dough: warm up the plant-based milk (about the temperature of a warm bath) and rehydrate the yeast in it. A few minutes later, a foam should form, indicating that the yeast is active.
  • Mix the flour, sugar, and milk with the yeast and melted margarine. Add the zest of one lemon.
  • Form a ball and cover it with a damp cloth. Let it rise for 2 hours.
  • Prepare the lemon cream: in a saucepan, zest a lemon. Add the sugar and mix them by hand, rubbing the sugar and zest between your fingers to enhance the flavor!
  • Add the cornstarch and whisk. Then add the lemon juice and milk. Whisk again. Finally, add the margarine.
  • Place the saucepan over high heat and cook the cream while whisking. When it comes to a boil, it will thicken. It's important to whisk continuously!
  • Remove the cream from the heat and store it in the fridge.
  • Roll out the brioche dough with a rolling pin to create a large rectangle about 2-3 mm thick. Spread the lemon cream on top, then roll the dough to form a big log. Cut around 6-8 slices from this log.
  • Grease an ovenproof dish and place all your rolls in it. Let rise for another hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F). Bake for 30 minutes.
  • Prepare the icing: mix the powdered sugar with a tablespoon of lemon juice. Pour the icing over the buns once they've cooled down a bit.
