Filled Brioche Buns
Makes:
10 filled Buns
Ingredients
• 1 cup of water (110°F)
• 2 tsp active dry Yeast
• 2 TBSP Sugar
• 3 ⅓ cups all-purpose Flour (453g)
• 1 ½ Salt
• 1/4 Cup butter; melted
• 3 TBSP milk
• 1 whole Egg
• 1 Egg yolk, keep egg whites for brushing.
• 1 TBSP Butter for brushing after baking.
Filling as desired, unlimited options
• I used Pizza toppings for 5
• Leftover Norteñisimo for 5
* I still want to try these with scrambled eggs for Breakfast Brioche Buns.
Preparation
• Start by proofing Yeast by mixing Water, Yeast and Sugar in a container, set it aside in a warm Area for 10 min or until frothy.
• Melt Butter in a microwave safe container, once melted add the 3 TBSP of Milk into the melted butter.
• Whisk together flour and salt in a large bowl or Stand mixer, once incorporated add Yeast mixture, Butter mixture, Egg and Egg yolk.
• Mix and Knead until all Flour is incorporated and slightly sticky dough is formed.
• Cover the bowl and let it stand in a warm place for hour or until doubled in size.
• While dough is rising; prepare Baking Sheets and desired filling.
Used Pizza filling for 5 and leftover Norteñisimo for the other 5.
•Turn risen dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and divide dough into 10 equal pieces (80g approximately). Shape each piece into a ball then roll one ball into an oval about 6 inches long.
• Add filling to the middle of the rolled out oval, bring ends over the filling, then fold one long side to the center and fold the opposite long side over the top. Pinch seam and place dough seam side down onto prepared baking sheet leaving 1/2 inches between each.
• Repeat with remaining dough balls.
• Cover loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let rise 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375°F
• When ready to bake; whisk together egg white with 1 TBSP water and brush over the buns with a pastry brush. • Bake 15-18 minutes or until tops are golden brown, rotate the sheet halfway through baking time.
• Melt the 1 TBSP of Butter; brush buns with melted Butter after baking while still Hot.
• Transfer to a cooling rack to cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy!!
