Method

1

**Brioche Dough:** In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.

2

In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and lukewarm milk. Add to the dry ingredients.

3

Knead for 5 minutes, then gradually add the softened butter, kneading until fully incorporated and the dough is smooth and elastic (about 10-15 minutes).

4

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.

5

Punch down the dough and divide it into portions. Shape each portion into a brioche with a 'tuppo' (hat) on top.

6

Place the brioche on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover, and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.

7

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

8

**Almond Granita:** In a blender, combine blanched Avola almonds and 1 cup of water. Blend until smooth.

9

Strain the almond milk through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding the solids.

10

In a saucepan, combine the almond milk, remaining 3 cups of water, sugar, and lemon juice. Heat over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved.

11

Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze for 2-3 hours, raking with a fork every 30 minutes to create a snowflake texture.

12

Serve the warm Brioche col Tuppo with the Almond Granita for dipping.
