Description
Soft, rich, and golden, these homemade Brioche Buns bring a gourmet touch to any meal. Perfect for burgers, breakfast sandwiches, or simply with butter and jam.
Ingredients
3 1/4 cups bread flour
3/4 cup whole milk, lukewarm
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
2 large eggs
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg, for egg wash
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, optional
Instructions
1. Warm the milk until lukewarm, stir in sugar and yeast, and let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
2. In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Add yeast mixture and eggs. Mix to form a rough dough.
3. Gradually add softened butter, kneading until fully incorporated and dough is smooth and elastic, about 8–10 minutes.
4. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1.5 to 2 hours until doubled.
5. Punch down the dough and divide into 8 equal pieces. Shape each into a ball and place on a baking sheet.
6. Cover and let rise again for 45 minutes to 1 hour until puffy.
7. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Beat egg with milk for wash and brush onto buns.
8. Bake for 16–18 minutes until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack before serving.
