Brioche Hamburger Buns

Soft and tender. A bit more work than the other buns on this site.

Ingredients

Dough
  • 283g (10oz) room temp water
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 571g Flour
  • 50g Sugar
  • 12.5g Salt
  • 182g Unsalted butter cut into pieces
  • 7g Rapid rise yeast
Egg Glaze
  • 1 Large egg lightly beaten
  • 1 Tbsp water
Toppings
  • Sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

  1. Add ingredients to the pan in the order listed and select the DOUGH course
  2. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper
  3. When the DOUGH course completes, remove the dough from the baking pan and place it on a lightly floured board. Divide into 10 ~118g portions (or 12 85g portions) rolled into balls.
  4. Evenly space 5 buns on each baking sheet. If using bread flour, lightly press down on the balls to create more a disc shape. For AP flour, you don’t need to do this as it will spread by itself.
  5. Cover loosely with plastic and let rise at room temperature for 1-3hrs (until desired size)
  6. Brush with egg glaze and sprinkle white sesame.
  7. Bake in an oven preheated at 350°F, ~15 minutes or until 205-210F internal temp
