There are buns… and then there are brioche buns. These buttery, golden beauties are soft, rich, and just the right amount of sweet — the kind that soak up all the burger juices without falling apart. 🍔
Whether you’re making sliders, breakfast sandwiches, or your own signature burger, these brioche buns are the foundation of perfection.
This is Part 1 of my Ultimate Burger Series — next week, I’ll show you how to build the burger that completes this masterpiece.
Why These Brioche Buns Stand Out
What makes these brioche buns restaurant-worthy?They’re perfectly balanced — tender on the inside, slightly crisp on the outside, and enriched with eggs, milk, and butter for that melt-in-your-mouth feel.
👨🍳 Follow along step by step as we go from kneading and proofing to shaping and baking. I’ll also share chef-tested tips to help you get that glossy, golden finish every single time.
Brioche Buns Recipe
Ingredients
550 g organic bread flour (4 ½ cups)
7 g instant yeast (2 ¼ tsp / 1 packet)
40–50 g sugar (3–4 tbsp)
10 g kosher salt (1 ½ tsp)
2 large eggs (100 g / ¼ cup)
250 ml warm milk (1 cup)
75–85 g unsalted butter, softened (5 ½–6 tbsp)
Egg wash: 1 egg + splash of milk
Method
In a stand mixer with the dough hook, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
Add eggs and warm milk; mix on low until dough forms.
Add softened butter a little at a time, mixing until smooth and elastic (8–10 minutes).
Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1–1 ½ hours.
Punch down and divide into equal portions (about 100 g / 3.5 oz each).
Shape into smooth rounds and place on parchment-lined trays.
Cover and proof again until puffy, about 45–60 minutes.
Brush with egg wash.
Bake at 375°F / 190°C for 15–18 minutes, until golden brown and glossy.
Cool on wire racks before slicing.
