Cup of love, pleasures in your pocket, memories in the making ... A cloud of happiness would be the backdrop for Jeffrey Cagnes' life, the pastry chef creates deliciously regressive brioches, light and lemony logs, outrageously chocolatey pies, happiness ephemeral and memories in the making.
“
I find it important to enter someone's life through a dessert
”, explains Jeffrey Cagnes, “
memories have no limit, they always evoke something positive.
I want to get to know people and through a dessert: you can have so many things, so much emotion, I want to know that.
I love people, and when you love people, you want to share
”.

The pastry chefs have in their hands, in their gestures, this invaluable know-how of giving a taste to the joys, joys and sweets shared.
The crunchiness of a nougatine and here is a piece of childhood, a fondant eclair, a buttered brioche, a praline babka, or this delicious acid lemon tart that makes your tongue pinch with happiness.
If, like Jeffrey Cagnes, the pastry chef is a benevolent man, moving forward as a team, fundamentally loving people, then you can be sure that you can melt with your eyes closed!

Recipe
Brioche Babka by Jeffrey Cagnes
For the Brioche
:
Ingredients
250 g of T45 flour / 3 g of salt / 50 g of sugar / 12 g of fresh baker's yeast / 150 g of milk / 50 g of butter.
Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm milk.
In a bowl, put the salt, sugar, flour and milk with the yeast. Knead until the dough comes off the sides of the bowl.
Add the butter cut into small pieces and continue kneading until the dough comes off the sides again. It should be smooth and shiny.
Roll out the dough and put it in a large bowl, cover and let rest in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
For mounting :
150 g of spread / 30 g of crushed dark chocolate / 40 g of crushed hazelnuts.
Spread flour on the work surface and roll out the dough in the shape of a rectangle the length of your mold and three times its width.
Warm the spread so that it is easier to spread, then spread it over the entire surface of the dough using a small angled spatula.
Add the crushed hazelnuts and dark chocolate.
Gently roll the dough into a sausage shape,
then cut it in half along its entire length.
Turn one of the strips of babka over (streaks facing up), then place the other strip on top, forming an X, and always keeping the streaks facing up.
Roll up the two strips to form a braid.
Place the brioche in a greased cake tin and let stand for 45 minutes at room temperature.
Preheat the oven to 180 ° C.
Bake and cook for 20 to 25 minutes.
Out of the oven, you can brush the babka with a sugar syrup (30 g of water and 30 g of sugar that has been boiled beforehand).
Wait 5 to 10 minutes before unmolding, and enjoy!
