Ingredients

60 mins
6 servings
  1. 400 grams bread flour
  2. 50 grams unsalted butter
  3. 2 tsp salt
  4. 2 eggs
  5. 2 tbsp sugar
  6. 2 tsp dry yeast
  7. 2 tbsp warm milk
  8. 200 ml warm water

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine the warm water, milk, sugar and yeast in a beaker and let stand for 4 minutes until foamy

  2. 2

    Next combine your flour and salt in a large bowl, adding in the butter. Mix this by hand until crumbly, then add the foamy yeast mixture and 1 egg

  3. 3

    When the dough starts to form, turn it out onto a well floured surface and kneed for about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Now shape the dough into a ball and put back into your bowl, cover and leave in a warm place for about an hour until doubled in size.

  5. 5

    When the dough has risen, cut it into 6 even chunks and shape these into small buns. Place the dough on a baking tray with grease-proofed paper, cover and leave in a warm spot for a further 30 minutes

  6. 6

    Pre-heat your oven to 200C/400F then gently beat the other egg. Use a pastry brush to lightly cover the buns to get that lovely brown crust. Optionally sprinkle with sesame seeds

  7. 7

    Put the tray of buns in the oven for about 15 - 20 minutes, or until golden brown

  8. 8

    Carefully remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes on a wire rack before serving. If you didn't add sesame seeds, a sprinkle of flour at this stage is a nice touch. Enjoy!

Hello Miles. I am making these Brioche Buns now. I followed the recipe and the dough ended up extremely soft, almost thick pancake batter. I am afraid the amount of water is too much. Is your 1 cup 250ml? I added a lot of extra flour and it is now improving well.
