Brioche Hamburger Buns Recipes

THE ULTIMATE BRIOCHE BUNS FOR BURGERS RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large bowl of a mixer, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
• In a separate jug whisk together the milk and eggs.
• Pour the liquid into the dry ingredients and knead on medium speed with the dough hook attachment. (Tip: hold back a little liquid in case you don't need it all to make the dough come together)
• Once the dough comes together and there is no dry flour add in the sliced, softened butter. Continue to knead the dough for another 6-8 minutes. You will notice it is a soft, shaggy dough.
• Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a smooth ball. Place it into a greased bowl, cover the bowl with plastic wrap (or a shower cap), and keep in a warm place for 1 1/2 - 2 hours.
• To make your Hamburgers: Divide the dough roughly into 6 (3 ¾oz) pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to proof. This should take about 45 to 60 minutes. (Shaping the dough into a smooth ball is very important. Watch how, here.)
• Once proofed, brush each bun with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
• Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-22 minutes or until they are golden brown.
• Store buns in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Because of the butter and eggs, they can spoil after 3 days so you can either keep them in the fridge or in the freezer for longer shelf life.

• Using the dough hook, mix the flour, salt, and beaten eggs into the starter. Once the dough is formed, knead with the dough hook for about 4 minutes. Scrape the bowl down a few times, adding more flour by the teaspoon if it is too sticky.
• Add the butter, 2 tablespoons at a time. Continue kneading with the machine, scraping the bowl from time to time, for about 5 minutes longer. The dough should be smooth and shiny.

• Cover with plastic wrap again and let rise for 45 minutes.

• Arrange the rolls on the parchment-lined pan. Cover with a lightweight kitchen towel and let them rest for 20 minutes.
• Heat the oven to 400 F.
• Sprinkle the tops of the buns with a little cornmeal , then gently turn them over so the cornmeal dusting is on the bottom.
