Brioche Gregory Doyen Strawberry Vanilla Recipes
Trompe l’oeil brioche of Hawaiian pineapple pizza by Gregory Doyen

Gregory Doyen accepted so good.. magazine 31’s challenge on “rogue” pastries and offered us three creations that take the idea of trompe l’oeil a little further.
From a bull’s heart covered with wagyu Hida A5 carpaccio, while remaining a dessert, to an ingenious game he calls ‘double trompe l’oeil’, in which instead of stacking pieces as in classic children’s games, the components of a hamburger are stacked, with flavors that are not very ‘hamburger-like’.
Here we focus on the ‘Italy to Hawaii’ proposal, where the French chef presents a sweet version of pizza, but with different techniques from those of the traditional pizza, especially in the way it was assembled. “We dissociated the dough from the toppings for a more promising tasting experience. Reason: Because Italians and chefs around the world hate the combination of pineapple pizza, which I think is correct. However, it can be very good for a pie cake like this Hawaiian sweet pizza.”
A trompe l’oeil with which Goyen surprises us once again and demonstrates his great talent, evident in his book, Sweet Concepts.
