Buttery and delicious Brioche Burger buns are the perfect accompaniment to a summer burger.

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon instant yeast
  • 1/3 cup milk (warmed)
  • 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 5 large eggs (room temperature and lightly beaten)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 3 1/4 cup bread flour (about 16.5 oz)
  • 12 Tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature cut into small chunks)
  • 1 large egg (for egg wash)

Directions

  1. 1

    In the bowl of a stand mixer (this dough requires a very long knead time, so I do not recommend making this by hand), add the yeast, slightly warm milk and sugar and mix together. Add in the eggs and salt and mix together. Add in the flour a cup at a time until a dough forms. 

  2. 2

    After the first rise, take the dough out of the fridge. Working quickly, turn the dough onto your countertop. Using a bench scraper or knife, cut the dough into 8 equal pieces. If the dough is sticky, add a pinch of flour to each roll. Shape each piece of dough into a ball and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Press down on the tops of the dough balls to flatten them out a little (this helps widen them to give you a better burger shape).
