Brioche, egg yolk bread, bun, brioche or Swiss, is a type of sweet of French origin, made from a paste with eggs, yeast, milk, butter (400 grams or more for each kilogram of flour) and sugar . The crust is browned before baking, thus obtaining its characteristic color, while the crumb is a paler yellow. Like bread, it often takes many forms, including ring and hexagonal loaves. It is common to add raisins to bread as a complement.
In Venezuela, when they are prepared in a hemispherical way, it is called ambrosiana and it also has raisins and candied fruits within its mass, as well as being dusted with icing sugar.
