🍔 Homemade Brioche Burger Buns (Soft, Buttery & Better Than Store-Bought)
These homemade brioche buns are incredibly soft, fluffy, and rich with buttery flavor. Perfect for burgers, sandwiches, breakfast buns, or meal prep—they stay fresh for days and freeze beautifully.
📝 Ingredients
Bread flour – 4 cups (500g)
Instant yeast – 2¼ tsp (7g)
Granulated sugar – 3 tbsp (38g)
Salt – 1½ tsp (9g)
Warm whole milk – ¾ cup (180ml)
Large eggs – 3 (about 150g), room temperature
Unsalted butter, softened – 5 tbsp (70g)
Egg wash – 1 egg + 1 tbsp (15ml) milk
Sesame seeds (optional)
👩🍳 Method
Step 1 – Make the Dough
Mix bread flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add warm milk and eggs. Mix until a rough dough forms.
Step 2 – Add Butter
Gradually knead in the softened butter until fully incorporated. Continue kneading for 10–12 minutes until the dough is smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky.
Step 3 – First Rise
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1½–2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Step 4 – Shape the Buns
Divide into 8 equal pieces (about 115g each). Shape into smooth balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking tray, leaving space between each bun.
Step 5 – Second Rise
Cover loosely and let the buns rise for 45–60 minutes until puffy. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
Step 6 – Bake
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15–18 minutes, or until deep golden brown.
Cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
💡 Pro Tips
Use bread flour for the softest, fluffiest texture.
Eggs, milk, and butter should be at room temperature.
Avoid adding extra flour—the dough should be slightly sticky.
Freeze cooled buns for up to 2 months.
