Instructions
Homemade Brioche Burger Buns
- Add the sugar to a large mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer. Add the warm water (not hot), then sprinkle over the yeast and let it sit for 5 minutes

- Sift in the flour and salt then mix well
- Then knead on a lightly floured surface (or with the dough hook in your stand mixer) for around 5 minutes until a smooth dough forms (If the dough is too sticky, add more flour, a little at a time)
- Cut the dough into 8 pieces and shape into smooth balls. Grease a baking tray with non-stick cooking spray and place the dough balls onto the tray, leaving space between them to rise
- Lightly cover the dough with a clean tea towel and place in a warm, draft free spot for 40 minutes
