www.lechefswife.com

La Pompe à l'huile is a Provençal olive oil brioche with a delicate taste of orange blossom served at Christmastime in Provence.

This recipe makes it simple to create this taste of Provence at home.

Prep Time: 5 HRS 30 MINS

All purpose flour Active dry yeast Sugar Salt Olive oil Orange blossom water Orange Orange juice Egg yolk

Cook Time: 15 hrs

Ingredients

STEP 1

First, grate the orange skin and press the juice. Set aside. In a medium sized bowl, mix together the dry yeast, 3 tbsps. of warm water as well as 2 tbsps. of flour.

STEP 2

Mix together and make into a ball shape. This is your yeast ball! It should be tightly packed - roll it in your hand for a tight shape.

STEP 3

Fill another mixing bowl ¾ of the way with warm water. Take the yeast ball and set it in the warm water. If it is not floating immediately, it will come up to the surface in a few minutes.

STEP 4

Let the yeast ball double in size in the warm water - this should take about 5 minutes. Careful not to let the yeast ball too long or it will dissipate into the water.
