BRIOCHE BURGER BUNS

Something just hits different when you make your own buns for burgers or sandwiches. So I thought I would share a recipe with you so that you can enjoy them at home or make them for a party you are going to .

These are pretty easy to make and keep up with. This batch should make 8 burger sized buns.

2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast

1/4 cup sugar

2 tablespoons warm water

1 1/4 cup bread flour ( we use Sir Galahad)

1 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

1/2 cup warm milk

1/2 cup softened butter

1. In a small bowl, mix yeast, sugar, ar warm water. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes to activate yeast.

2. Using a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, combine flour, salt, yeast mixture, 1 egg, and warm milk.Add butter 1 tablespoon at a time and mix until a soft dough forms. Switch to a dough hook attachment and knead dough for 8 to 10 minutes, or until smooth.

3. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size,

(1 to 1½ hours)

4. Once risen, punch down dough, divide into 8 portions, and shape into buns.

5. Place on a parchment-lined sheet and let rise for an additional 30 to 40 minutes.

6. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a small bowl, beat remaining egg with a fork. Brush buns with egg wash and sprinkle sesame seeds on top if using.

7. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until lightly golden.

8. Let cool before slicing.
