Description
These French-inspired brioche buns offer a rich, buttery flavor and pillowy texture, perfect for填馅甜 or savory delights. With a golden-brown crust and melt-in-your-mouth interior, they bring bakery-quality comfort to home cooking.
Ingredients
3 large eggs, plus 1 egg white for egg wash
3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup (240ml) whole milk
2 cups (250g) bread flour
3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
1 tsp kosher salt
Instructions
In a stand mixer bowl, combine milk, eggs, flour, sugar, instant yeast, and kosher salt. Attach dough hook.
Mix on low speed until a shaggy dough forms.
Gradually add softened butter while mixing on low speed until incorporated.
Increase speed to medium-high and knead for 8-10 minutes, until dough is smooth and elastic.
Transfer dough to a greased bowl, cover, and let rest for 1 hour.
Punch down dough, shape into 8 equal buns, and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cover and let rise for 45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly brush buns with egg wash (1 egg white mixed with 1 tsp water).
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown and dome-like.
Notes
Use room-temperature eggs for better dough mixing.
All-purpose flour can substitute for bread flour with slightly less lift.
Reduce sugar by 2-3 tbsp for a less sweet version.
Active dry yeast may be used by dissolving in warm milk before mixing.
Buns can be filled with sweet (jam, lemon curd) or savory (herbed cheese, mushrooms) fillings before baking.
