5. Portion out 10 large buns (approx 90g) and 10 little balls 'tuppo' (15g) and place on tray with grease prove paper, spaced out
6. Make an indent in the bun, then apply egg wash on bun and the tuppo and then assemble together
7. Put in oven, with light on only and allow to proof for a further 2 hours.
8. Remove trays out of oven and pre-heat at 180 degrees, then place buns back in oven after applying another coat of egg wash and cook in centre of oven for 20 mins or until golden brown
Tip
This shape of the Brioche is a representative of the 'Sicilian Women' who the older generation tend to tie their hair back and put into a bun 'tuppo'.
The Brioche is usually eaten for breakfast with Granita, original flavour being almond (check out my Almond Granita recipe). Other popular flavours are coffee, lemon, chocolate and pistachio. Something I got to experience when I lived there from 12-14 years of age 
It's been known some get filled in with nutella (no surprise there)!
These are best eaten same day, so freeze extras until ready to eat.

Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
