Last year with a couple of friends i baked for a month for Champa's Bake-a-thon, this year am again gonna run but this time just 3 days per week. For the first day of bake a thon, am posting my lil one's latest favourite, brioche christmas tree.Since christmas is approaching quickly, my kids started asking to bake something christmassy. As i planned to bake bread, my daughter suggested to bake a brioche as christmas tree. I simply loved her brilliant idea and quickly prepared my brioche dough.
This cute looking brioche christmas tree was prepared with usual brioche dough and goes for eggs. I have already prepared a light version of brioche,this time i went for almost the same dough preparation apart from butter, i went adding more butter this time and these cute brioche christmas tree came out extremely spongy,buttery and delicious.I baked three medium sized brioche christmas tree from the measurement i have given here and went for some black poppy seeds and sesame seeds for the crust.Do check Champa, Srivalli, Sumana Deepak,Veena and Preeti Deo wat they baked for the first day of bake-a-thon.Sending to 60days of Christmas hosted by Priya and Divya.

1/2cup Milk (luke warm)
3nos Egg yolks
1/4cup Sugar +1tsp Sugar
1tsp Salt
150grms Butter
1no Egg yolk+1tsp Milk (for brushing)

Mix the yeast,a teaspoon of sugar and salt to the luke warm milk, keep aside until the yeast turns foamy.
Meanwhile take the flour,egg yolks,sugar in a large bowl, add gradually the foamy yeast and turn everything as a soft dough, now add the butter and knead everything for 10minutes.
Arrange the dough in a bowl covered with a towel,keep aside for atleast for 2hours until they double their volume.
Knead the dough again for few minutes, divide the dough as three equal balls.
Divide 16 tiny balls from the already divided dough. Roll them as round balls and place it over a baking sheet, one by one without any space as christmas tree.
Keep it in warm place for half an hour.
Preheat the oven at 350F. Mix the egg yolk with milk for brushing together, now brush the uncooked brioche christmas tree generously.
Springle the poppy seeds and sesame seeds on the top and bake them for 20-25minutes until the crust turns golden brown.
