Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 ml Whole milk
- 7 g Active dry yeast
- 400 g All-purpose flour
- 8 g Salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 180 g Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large Egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
Warm the milk to about 38°C (100°F) and add the active dry yeast. Stir to dissolve and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Create a well in the middle and add the frothy yeast mixture and eggs.
Using a dough hook on a stand mixer, mix the ingredients on a low setting until everything is well combined.
Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and slowly incorporate the softened butter, a few tablespoons at a time, ensuring it is fully absorbed before adding more.
Continue kneading the dough on medium-high speed for about 10-15 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Transfer the dough to a clean, lightly greased bowl. Cover with a damp kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Once risen, gently punch down the dough to release air and transfer to a lightly floured surface.
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces (approximately 100g each) and shape each piece into a tight ball.
Place the dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them a few inches apart. Cover again with a damp towel and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes until noticeably puffy.
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Beat the remaining egg and gently brush it over each bun to create a glossy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. Enjoy your sugar-free brioche buns with your favorite fillings or toppings.
