Burger Components
Method
Brioche Bun Preparation
- 1
Making the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, until foamy. Add the flour, salt, eggs, and softened butter. Mix until a dough forms.
- 2
Kneading the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 7-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for about 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
- 3
Shaping the Buns
Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and flatten slightly. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
