Easy Brioche Burger Buns

An easy recipe for soft, buttery, and slightly sweet 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. 1Combine the milk, sugar, yeast, one egg, and butter in a jug and let it sit for 10 minutes.
2. 2Add the flour and salt to the bowl of your mixer or a large bowl, and stir to combine.
3. 3Add the liquid to the flour and using the dough hook, mix on low speed for two minutes, until well combined.
4. 4Increase the speed of your mixer to medium speed and mix for eight minutes.
5. 5Remove 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. 6Gently punch down the dough and remove it from the bowl.
7. 7Divide 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. 8Cover with oiled plastic wrap and allow to rise again for another 45-60 minutes.
9. 9At least 30 minutes before baking, heat your oven to 375°F.
10. 10Mix the remaining egg with two tablespoons of water.
11. 11Brush the buns with the egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
12. 12Bake for 15-20 minutes, rotating halfway. Bake until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 195°F.
13. 13Remove the buns from the oven, and place them on a wire rack. Cover with a dish towel to steam as they cool.
14. 14Store in an airtight container for two to three days. A quick 20 seconds in the microwave will help soften them up.
