Easy Brioche Burger Buns

Ingredients

• 375 ml milk (warmed to around 95F°)
• 2 1/2 tbsp caster sugar ((superfine))
• 1 tbsp instant dried yeast
• 2 eggs (room temperature, one for eggwash)
• 4 tbsp butter (melted)
• 600 g all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• vegetable oil
• sesame seeds

Instructions

1. 1

   Combine the milk, sugar, yeast, one egg, and butter in a jug and let it sit for 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Add the flour and salt to the bowl of your mixer or a large bowl, and stir to combine.

3. 3

   Add the liquid to the flour and using the dough hook, mix on low speed for two minutes, until well combined.

4. 4

   Increase the speed of your mixer to medium speed and mix for eight minutes.

5. 5

   Remove the dough from the bowl and shape it into a ball. Place it in an oiled bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 45 minutes to 1 hour until is markedly larger.

6. 6

   Gently punch down the dough and remove it from the bowl.

7. 7

   Divide the dough into ten pieces. Shape into balls and place on lined baking trays. Make sure you leave enough space between each bun for it to rise.

8. 8

   Cover with oiled plastic wrap and allow to rise again for another 45-60 minutes.

9. 9

   At least 30 minutes before baking, heat your oven to 375°F.

10. 10

    Mix the remaining egg with two tablespoons of water.

11. 11

    Brush the buns with the egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

12. 12

    Bake for 15-20 minutes, rotating halfway. Bake until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 195°F.

13. 13

    Remove the buns from the oven, and place them on a wire rack. Cover with a dish towel to steam as they cool.

14. 14

    Store in an airtight container for two to three days. A quick 20 seconds in the microwave will help soften them up.
