Brioche tressée de Metz

Hailing from Lorraine, this sweet bread is prepared with a classic, buttery brioche dough. As the name suggests, since tressée means braided, the dough is typically shaped in a large, twisted braid, while the origin of the brioche is closely associated with the city of Metz. However, it is found throughout the Lorraine region and is typically enjoyed on special occasions, when it's usually served well-chilled at the beginning of the meal.
