The ultimate brioche burger buns recipe yields the most delicious buns, Bakery-style! Rich and buttery, lightly sweetened, with a soft and pillowy texture, these brioche buns will prove you that making homemade burgers is really worth the extra time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ¼ ounces (7g) active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1.7 ounces (50g) water
  • 2.8 ounces (80g) milk, lukewarm
  • 10.5 ounces (300g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg + 1 egg for brushing
  • 1.5 ounces (45g) sugar
  • 3.5 ounces (100g) butter at room temperature, diced
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) salt
  • 2 Tablespoons black sesame and pumpkin seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast with just a little bit of sugar, water and lukewarm milk. Let sit for about 5 to 10 minutes to activate the yeast (it should become slightly “bubbly”).
  2. Place all the ingredients except for the salt into the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix on speed 1 for about two minutes. Add the salt. Mix on speed 4 for two minutes. Switch to speed 6 and mix until the dough becomes smooth and slaps the bowl.
  3. Remove from the bowl and shape into a ball with your hands. Place into the bowl again and let rise until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
  4. Shape the dough: divide the dough into 6 to 8 equal parts (depending on how big you want the buns to be)*. Use your hands to flatten each dough portion. Fold the tips into the center, and repeat again from all sides, until you get a little pouch. Flip it over, trap the dough with your hands, press a little bit and roll it onto the countertop. It must stick to the countertop a little bit. Place each little ball onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Cover with a cloth and let rise until the dough is strong and you feel the air inside, about one hour minimum.
  5. Brush with beaten egg, sprinkle some black sesame seeds and pumpkin seeds on top, and bake at 375°F (190° C) for about 15 minutes or until golden-brown. Transfer to a cooling rack and set aside.

Notes

IMPORTANT NOTE: For best results, I highly recommend you use the grams measurements that will give precise results. This is why I didn’t convert into cups for this specific recipe (cups won’t be precise enough and risk to alter the final outcome of your burger buns).

* For mini burgers, my recommendation is to divide the dough into 18 equal parts.
