Make soft, buttery brioche burger buns at home. With or without sesame, your choice! Perfect for juicy hamburgers, BBQ sliders, and gourmet sandwiches.
In a standing mixer with the dough hook attachment, add the 3/4 cup room temperature whole milk, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, 3 eggs and 1 tbsp instant yeast. Mix until fully combined.
Pour in 3 ¼ cups bread flour and 1 ½ tsp fine sea salt. Mix until but don't fully combine.
Add 10 tbsp melted unsalted butter to the mixer bowl and knead for 5 minutes with the dough hook on medium speed.
Remove the bowl from the mixer and cover with a towel. Allow the dough to rise for 2 hours or until doubled in size.
Break the dough into eight even pieces using a kitchen scale. Roll into smooth balls and place on two light metal-colored cookie sheets lined with parchment paper.
Cover with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise an additional 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
Whisk together the egg wash in a small bowl (1 egg and 1 tbsp milk). Paint the tops of each bun with the egg wash using a pastry brush.
Bake for 14-18 minutes or until the internal temperature of the buns is 190 degrees F.
