Brioche Bun Ingredients

Sides

Method

Brioche Bun Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

    Add the softened butter and knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

  3. 3

    Let the Dough Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  4. 4

    Shape the Buns

    Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  5. 5

    Second Rise

    Cover the buns with a cloth and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    Bake the Buns

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the buns for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Burger Directions

  1. 7

    Prepare the Patties

    Season the Wagyu beef patties with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 8

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adding a slice of cheddar cheese on top during the last minute of cooking to melt.

  3. 9

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread 2 tablespoons of roasted garlic aioli on the bottom half of each brioche bun. Place the cooked patties on top, followed by 2 tablespoons of bacon jam and 4 slices of pickles.

  4. 10

    Top the Burger

    Cover with the top half of the brioche bun and press down gently.

Serving Directions

  1. 11

    Serve

    Serve the Wagyu burger with fries or a salad on the side.
