Bun recipe for homemade hamburger buns from scratch. I would never buy a store-bought hamburger, not because I can bake them myself but because I make perfect hamburger recipes using delicious homemade brioche bun recipes.

This bun recipe is made with few ingredients and can be made even by beginners.

My homemade brioche buns are made wonderfully and are sprinkled with some sesame seeds.

These buns are worth getting your hands dirty, if you like kneading your dough by hand like me then prepare to get them dirty. If you do not like kneading the dough by hand, you can use a stand mixer with a dough hook. By the time you are going to be done making these buns, you’ll be on your way to making the best brioche buns.

BRIOCHE BUNS INGREDIENTS

Flour: I used all purpose flour. You can use bread flour, though bread flour will give these brioche buns a chewier texture. 

Yeast: I used active dry yeast. Active dry yeast can be activated with milk or with warm water. Another option is using instant yeast, instant yeast is my favorite because it doesn’t require a lot of time to prepare it. Plus proofing time will be less because instant yeast is more active.

Eggs: The eggs give the brioche buns a nice yellow dough.

Milk: The milk is used to activate the yeast.

Sugar: I used granulated sugar. Brown sugar also work just fine.

Butter: Use unsalted melted butter. Use your favorite brand of butter for this brioche bun recipe.

Salt: For flavoring.

  • Put the dough in a greased bowl. Cover with a kitchen towel or with a plastic wrap and let it sit in a warm place for an hour. 
  • Once the dough has doubled in size. Transfer it to a floured surface. Knead by hands and shape into balls.
  • Let the balls proof again for another 30-50 minutes.

Buying a store-bought puff pastry means that the only thing you'll have to do is make the filling. The filling is made with a bunch of vegetables and chicken or meat.
