Why this pastry:
I wanted to capture the joy of a layer cake in a single pastry: for both cake lovers and those who usually skip dessert. It starts with what I consider my ideal brioche, airy yet rich, and builds in bright, seasonal citrus and a lightly savory cream. A final kiss of chocolate ties it all together.
Ingredients and Sourcing:
Deep Roots Milling Bolles Wheat
Shenandoah County, Virginia
About the grains:
Bolles wheat is a hard red spring wheat, created by the Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station. Bolles is known for its rich aroma, nutty flavor, and chewy texture.
