Simple cream bread

One of my all time problem is "I always have left-over whipping cream".

Well, as it has very short storing life, (I use pasteurised kind, not the UHT one), and the smallest size that I have to buy is 1 litre ^^".  Even I try my best to use it all, I always end up throwing the rest of it away, most of the time it's about 150-200 ml. 
But it's not good for my motto to throw away food, I have to find the best way to use them all. Finally, this recipe is my answer, as my family eat bread for breakfast almost everyday, it's always welcomed, hehe.
Plus this recipe is very, very and very easy to knead, the dough come together quickly (in about 5 minutes). The texture of the bread is close to the Brioche, fluffy inside and a bit crunchy outside but it's less rich and yes a lot easier to work with. If you don't have so much time, you can mix, knead then refrigerate overnight, and bake it next day (remove it from the fridge, let it return to room temperature before shaping it).
Now, I find new way to use my whipping cream, hope it will help you too ^^, and we both won't have to throw our whipping cream away again!!!!
