    Brioche Buns Recipe

    I am telling you this is one of the best bun in the world. So soft and so fluffy. Please guys before starting the post, i am telling you, don't ask me substitutes for anything. Because it has to be done exactly like this. Am not sure about the substitutes of eggs in this..But i will surely share an eggless brioche recipe soon.

    I made a braided bread and loved it so much. Made a three braided bread. I will share a separate post about how to make 5 and 7 braided bread soon.

    Brioche Buns Recipe step by step pictures

     
    Take all your ingredients
    Take water in a microwave safe jug
    add in milk
    and butter
    i popped it in microwave for 10 to 20 sec till it is luke warm,
    the butter need not melt throughly
    now add in sugar and mix well
    add in yeast and mix well..Let it sit for 5 mins.
    Now the yeast is activated
    Take flour in a bowl
    add in salt
    mix well and make a well in the center
    now add the yeast mix
    add in egg
    mix well
    now knead this for a good 5 mins
    it will form into a smooth and soft dough
    Now place this in a large bowl
    cover it with a plastic wrap and let it rise
    look beautifully it has risen
    knock back the air and give a knead
    now flatten it like a disc
    cut it into equal portions
    take a ball
    roll it into a smooth ball
    place it in a parchment sheet lined baking dish..
    I used my silicon mat
    flatten it slightly
    Now take another portion
    Roll it thinly
    give a twist like this
    now tuck one side under
    and other side upper..pinch them as well
    Tada
    now lets make braided broiche..take three balls
    roll them thinly
    pinch the top
    now start braiding, like you braid your hair
    go on
    go on
     
    i cut off the top and bottom to give a finished look
    beautiful..
    arrange all your buns and bread in a tray
    cover it again and let it rise
    I would suggest you to use a bigger pan or do it in batches.Because since i placed them quite close, as the buns
    baked they stuck to each other..
    now crack open a egg
    beat them up
    brush on top generously
    Sprinkle with seeds
    all beautifully baked
    enjoy
    They were just soft as cloud

    look how soft it is..

      Dear please try baking with self rising/raising flour.Do u get this at your place?? It makes life so easy because one does not have to bother with yeast and baking powder then.If u can use them,please do because want to know how to use the flour in the buns.Please guide.

      @imroseI haven't used that dear.Because i couldn't find it here.And i hope yeast is must for bread and bun baking. because self rising flour just has baking powder and salt in them. It is good for cakes and baked goodies like that

        So true Aarthi, baking powder is not for breads, I bet if used in the above buns will change the texture and taste drastically. Might end up like scones.

      Hi Aarthi, i tried making the bread yesterday using half the ingredients but the dough was very sticky to handle so i had to add more flour. Though the bread came out well but was not as soft and fluffy as yours. Was slightly dense in texture. What could have went wrong? Thanks.

      @umamahicake will rise nicely, but bread depends on how much time you are actually leaving it to rise..You could put your bread in upto 3/4th it is full.
