Homemade Brioche Buns
Description
The Homemade Brioche Buns start with warm milk combined with yeast, sugar, and some flour to activate the yeast. Eggs, salt, and melted butter are added to enrich the dough, with additional flour incorporated gradually. Kneading develops gluten to create elasticity. The dough undergoes an hour-long first rise.
After rising, the dough is divided into 18 to 24 pieces, shaped into flattened rounds, and left to rise again for 30 minutes. An egg and water wash is brushed on before baking at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 25 minutes, resulting in buns with a shiny, golden-brown crust.
These buns have a soft, tender crumb and a rich buttery flavor typical of brioche, suitable for sandwiches or burgers. The recipe notes that depending on flour brand, an extra cup of flour may be needed to achieve proper dough consistency.
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk heated to around 110 °F, whole
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 tbsp active dry yeast
- 6 cups all-purpose flour depending on the brand of flour, you may need 7 cups
- 6 egg
- 200 grams butter unsalted
- 1/8 tsp salt
For Brushing the Tops
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp water
Instructions
- Using a stand mixer or spoon, combine the warm milk (about 110 °F) with yeast, sugar, and two cups of flour. Whisk the ingredients together. Cover the bowl with a towel and set it aside in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs together. Add the eggs, salt and melted butter to the dough mixture. Whisk in the remaining flour in small portions. (Depending on the brand of flour, you may need an extra cup of flour)
- Knead the dough by hand or with your mixer until it becomes elastic (about 10-15 minutes).
- Cover the dough and let it rise for about an hour.
- Divide the dough into 18-24 pieces (depending on the size you prefer). Form a flattened, round shape out of each dough piece.
- Place the dough pieces on a lined baking sheet. Cover them with a towel and allow them to rise for 30 minutes. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with water and brush the tops of the buns with the mixture.
- Bake the brioche buns at 350°F for about 25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown. Enjoy!
