Usually i get them from the nearby bakery,as yeast god is super kind enough with me till now, i couldnt stop myself trying my hands in making an another brioche dough for making this mini brioche aka briochette.We call mini brioches as briochette, actually if you have visited Paris you must know very well the famous crossiant aka crescent and pain au chocolat, a flaky bun with chocolates inside.
I tried to reproduce the famous pain au chocolat with brioche dough and prepared this briochettes, they turned out extremely awesome,we couldnt stop ourselves having this tiny attractive briochettes for our snacks. My kids enjoyed thoroughly and they simply love it.

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 well the dough and and divide into two equal balls, roll a ball as rectangular disc, cut it again as 6-8nos of small rectangles as show in the picture.
