Brioche Burger Buns
Buttery and tender, our brioche buns are the luxurious accompaniment your cookouts need. We sprinkled them with sesame seeds and flaked sea salt for a touch of tradition.
Brioche Burger Buns
2½ cups (313 grams) all-purpose flour, divided
2 cups (254 grams) bread flour, divided
3 tablespoons (36 grams) granulated sugar
1 tablespoon (9 grams) kosher salt
2¼ teaspoons (7 grams) active dry yeast
1 cup (240 grams) water
¼ cup (60 grams) plus 1 tablespoon (15 grams) whole milk, divided
¼ cup (57 grams) unsalted butter
2 large eggs (100 grams), room temperature and divided
1 large egg yolk (19 grams), room temperature
1 tablespoon (9 grams) sesame seeds
1½ teaspoons (5 grams) flaked sea salt
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine 1 cup (125 grams) all-purpose flour, 1 cup (127 grams) bread flour, sugar, kosher salt, and yeast.
In a medium saucepan, heat 1 cup (240 grams) water, ¼ cup (60 grams) milk, and butter over medium heat until an instant-read thermometer registers 120°F (49°C) to 130°F (54°C). Add warm milk mixture to flour mixture, and beat at medium speed until combined. Add 1 egg (50 grams) and egg yolk, and beat until combined. With mixer on low speed, gradually add 1¼ cups (156 grams) all-purpose flour and remaining 1 cup (127 grams) bread flour, beating just until combined and stopping to scrape sides of bowl.
Switch to the dough hook attachment. Beat at low speed until a soft, somewhat sticky dough forms, 11 to 12 minutes, stopping to scrape sides of bowl and dough hook. Add up to remaining ¼ cup (31 grams) all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon (8 grams) at a time, if dough is too sticky. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, and shape into a smooth round.
Lightly oil a large bowl. Place dough in bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (75°F/24°C) until doubled in size, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly punch down dough. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, and divide into 10 portions (about 101 grams each). Roll 1 portion into a smooth round. (See Note.) (Keep remaining dough covered to prevent it from drying out.) Press flat into a 3-inch disk. Repeat with remaining dough, and place at least 2 inches apart on prepared pan. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (75°F/24°C) until puffed, 30 to 45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together remaining 1 egg (50 grams) and remaining 1 tablespoon (15 grams) milk. Brush buns with egg wash. Top with sesame seeds and sea salt.
Bake until golden and an instant-read thermometer inserted in center registers 190°F (88°C), 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool on pan for 10 minutes. Remove from pan, and let cool completely on a wire rack.
