Brioche Bun Recipe

Brioche Bun Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Dough

   In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

2. 2

   Add eggs, melted butter, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until combined.

3. 3

   Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

4. 4

   First Rise

   Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.

5. 5

   Shape the Buns

   Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round bun and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

6. 6

   Second Rise

   Cover the shaped buns with a cloth and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes until puffed.

7. 7

   Preheat and Bake

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the tops of the buns with egg wash and bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.

8. 8

   Cool and Serve

   Allow the buns to cool on a wire rack before serving.
