About Boxemännchen
Anne’s Kitchen’s Boxemännchen are Luxembourgish person-shaped brioches associated with December and Christmas breakfasts. The recipe belongs to her Tastes of Luxembourg series and uses a sweet yeast dough enriched with milk, butter and eggs.
Sugar gives the bread a gentle sweetness, with dairy and eggs contributing richness. Chocolate decorations provide small sweet accents on the shaped buns.
Each figure has a separate rounded head, arms and legs cut into the dough. An egg-and-milk glaze finishes the surface, with chocolate eyes and buttons decorating the baked brioche figures.
