Lighter brioche buns with only one rise time if you prefer. This is a quick and easy homemade bread recipe, with a rewarding fluffy brioche bun and only 15 minutes baking time. Add some seeds or herbs on top to change it up!
05Divide into 8 equal pieces (or 12 - 16 for sliders). Shape each dough ball by pinching the bottom of the dough ball together and then cupping your hand on top of it on the counter. Circle your hand over the top of the ball, rolling the dough ball around gently until the top is smooth. Pinch together the bottom if needed and set on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Cover with a towel.
06Let rise in a warm spot until almost doubled, about 30-45 minutes or so (depending on the warmth in your kitchen).
07Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
08Whisk an egg with a teaspoon of water and brush over the top of the buns. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes, until golden brown and completely cooked. Time varies as ovens vary, so watch the buns carefully halfway through cooking time.
