Bostock Brioche – French Almond Pastry

Bo-what?! Bostock is a French pastry. The concept is similar to French toast, except that the bread for Bostock is not fried in a pan. The brioche slices are soaked in syrup, spread with jam and topped with an almond paste. If you ask me: much better than French toast!

Bostock – Leftover recipe for stale brioche

Stale brioche is best for this, as the slices can then absorb the syrup better. Bostock is a perfect way to use leftover brioche or toast. I used this French butter brioche with sourdough. The only disadvantage is that sourdough brioche stays fresh longer than brioche with yeast. That’s why I had to wait a few days longer before I could transform them into Bostock. But there are worse things!

A summery brunch idea

Bostock is quick to make: The pastry is on the breakfast table in less than 30 minutes. For the basic recipe, all you need is stale brioche, syrup, jam and fangipane, a French almond paste made from equal parts butter, sugar, ground almonds and egg. Bostock is particularly delicious when topped with seasonal fruit. Fresh berries, rhubarb or peaches provide a great contrast to the sweet almond cream. Happy baking!
