Ever wondered how to make brioche buns? Well, it's far easier than you think. Come on, I'll help. You'll have bun in the oven in no time! Yum!! | theyumyumclub.com
As always, first, gather all of the ingredients together.
Mix the water and milk together and then add the yeast and stir well. Leave for 5 minutes or so until the yeast starts to react. You will know this as bubbles will start to appear on the top of the solution.
While the yeast is working make the crumble by adding the butter to the flour and mix in between your hands until a crumble is made.
Make the dough by mixing the yeast solution and 2 whisked eggs in with the crumble. This will be sticky at first. Place this on a floured work surface.
Now, knead the dough for 10-12 minutes until it becomes stringy in texture. This is when the gluten is forming. When done, add to a lightly greased bowl and cover.
Leave the dough ball for 1-3 hours until it doubles in size.
Once the dough has doubled, knock the air out of it and knead again for 2 minutes. Now, split the dough into whatever bun size you require and form the buns. Lay on a lined baking tray and cover.
Leave these for approximately 1 hour, again, until doubled in size.
Once doubled in size brush with the remaining egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Now bake in a pre-heated oven at 200C / 180C Fan for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
And there you have it, wonderful brioche buns! Yum!!
