Brioche Buns with Sesame Seeds

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp active dry yeast
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 4 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp sesame seeds

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, mix 2 cups flour, 1 tbsp yeast, 2 tbsp sugar, and 1 tsp salt. Add 4 tbsp softened butter and 3/4 cup warm water; stir until a shaggy dough forms.

2. 2

   Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Shape into 4 equal balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment.

3. 3

   Cover the buns with a damp towel and let rise in a warm spot for 15 minutes, until slightly puffy. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 375°F.

4. 4

   Brush the risen buns with a little water or milk, then sprinkle 2 tbsp sesame seeds evenly over the tops. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.

5. 5

   Let the buns cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
