Brioche burger buns
Brioche burger buns are soft, buttery bread rolls enriched with milk, egg and a touch of sugar for a golden, slightly sweet finish. The Thermomix TM7 warms the milk mixture, kneads the silky dough and blends the glossy egg wash, giving bakery-quality buns at home with minimal hands-on work.
About this recipe
Brioche burger buns Thermomix TM7 recipes deliver the bakery experience straight into your home kitchen, and this all-in-one kitchen machine makes the process surprisingly simple. Made with baker's flour, milk, salted butter and egg, these buns have a tender, feathery crumb and a glossy sesame-seeded crown that turns any homemade burger into a weekend treat. The TM7 warms the milk and water to the ideal temperature for activating instant yeast, then kneads the enriched dough until it becomes smooth and elastic — the step most home bakers struggle with by hand. Because the dough contains butter and egg, precise temperature control matters, and that is exactly where this machine excels. Whether you are preparing a summer barbecue, a family dinner or meal prep for the week ahead, these buns can be shaped, proofed and baked in an afternoon. Once you taste a burger served on warm homemade brioche, shop-bought buns will never compare again.
Preparation tips
- Tip 1: Make sure the salted butter is soft before adding it to the dough, and add it gradually after the flour and milk have come together so the brioche absorbs the fat evenly and stays silky.
- Tip 2: Let the shaped buns proof in a warm, draught-free spot until they look puffy and doubled; pressing gently with a fingertip should leave a slow spring-back, which promises a light crumb after baking.
- Tip 3: Brush the buns with the egg yolk wash twice, once before and once just before sprinkling the sesame seeds, for an extra glossy, deep golden crust that rivals any bakery window display.
Recipe variations
- Variation 1: For a lactose-free version, replace the milk with a lactose-free alternative and use plant-based margarine instead of salted butter; the brioche buns keep their soft texture and golden colour thanks to the egg wash.
- Variation 2: For a festive variant, knead finely grated cheese and a pinch of smoked paprika into the brioche dough and top the buns with grated cheese instead of sesame seeds — ideal for a winter barbecue or a children's party.
