Ingredients

• 400 grams All-purpose flour
• 7 grams Active dry yeast
• 200 milliliters Skimmed milk
• 3 large Eggs
• 60 milliliters Light olive oil
• 50 grams Sugar
• 8 grams Salt
• 50 milliliters Water
• 1 optional for glaze Egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon optional for topping Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Warm the skimmed milk until lukewarm, about 40°C (104°F). In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar and yeast in the warm milk. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and salt. Create a well in the center.

Step 3

Beat 2 eggs and mix them with the yeast mixture, light olive oil, and water. Pour this liquid mixture into the well created in the flour.

Step 4

Using a wooden spoon or spatula, gradually incorporate the flour into the wet ingredients until a rough dough forms.

Step 5

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Punch down the risen dough to release air. Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are spaced apart.

Step 8

Cover the dough balls with a damp cloth and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).

Step 10

If desired, whisk an egg yolk with a tablespoon of water and brush it over the tops of the buns for a glossy finish. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if using.

Step 11

Bake the brioche buns in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.

Step 12

Allow the buns to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
