Solilemmes are bread rolls made in northern France from a yeast-risen dough that is like an eggy brioche dough.
They are served hot.
Cooking Tips
To serve Solilemmes, split horizontally and butter with melted, salted butter, replace the top. They are often served with slices of smoked fish.
History Notes
Some speculate that Solilemmes actually originated in Alsace; others speculate that the chef Careme (1784-1833) discovered Sally Lunn cakes while in Bath and brought the recipe back and adapted it.
