I love a good sandwich with an egg-washed brioche bun. Or enjoying sweet and buttery soft rolls with dinner. This recipe is now my go to for both! And it’s made in the bread machine, so what could be easier?

Place the ingredients for the dough in your bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Run on dough, or leaven dough, setting.
Remove the dough from the pan and gently set it onto a lightly floured surface. Devide your dough into 10 equal portions for buns (14 for rolls). Shape each piece into a ball and cover with either a flour sack towel or plastic wrap. Allow to rest for 20 minutes.
Shape each dough into your desired bun shape, pulling it so that the tops tighten.
Place on a baking pan that is either lightly geased, or has a silicon baking mat. Allow to rize for 50-60 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 350°F
Brush the tops with the egg wash and bake for 15-20 minutes, until tops are nicely browned.
I don’t see any reason why not, though I haven’t experimented with it yet myself – If you’re baking it in the bread machine it would be approximately equivalent to a 1.5 lb loaf, and could likely run it on the standard cycle. If you’re baking it in the oven you might need to add 5-10 minutes to your baking time depending on your oven to make certain that the interior is baked enough.
This is a must try recipe; I use it for hot dog/hamburger buns and loaf bread. For loaf bread I use the dough cycle and bake in the oven. You pretty much can’t go wrong baking at 350 degrees for appx 30 minutes. Use an instant read thermometer to check temperature (190 degrees) or tap the bottom to see if it sounds hollow. It made a great cinnamon raisin swirl bread! I’ve even switched out virgin coconut oil for the butter; great texture and flavor.
These are the tastiest – and easiest! – brioche buns I’ve ever made. The only change I made was that instead of the egg wash, I brushed the tops of the buns with melted butter as soon as they came out of the oven. I plan to make them again today and start keeping a stash in the freezer. Thanks for the recipe!
Hi Donna!
This recipe was designed for a 1 lb bread machine, so if you have a 2 lb sized machine you should be able to double it with no issue. (I have occasionally seen doubled recipes rise more than expected so I would monitor a 1.5lb machine closely if attempting)
Edit: realize I had the incorrect bread machine sizes, corrected now.

Could this be used in a loaf pan for bread instead of rolls?

Thank you for the detailed loaf instructions, and other ways that you’ve used this recipe!

What did you add for the cinnamon swirl bread? I’ve been wanting to try that

I’d love to know how to do hot dog buns! Brioche buns is all my husband wants, and I am not sure how to make it happen..

Made these today for my Eastern Carolina BBQ pulled pork sandwiches with coleslaw on top. These buns are a keeper.

This is so easy to make . It is so soft and delicious. I made it as hamburger rolls and dinner rolls. My family can’t get enough
Donna
Just wondering if anyone has doubled the recipe? Good results as well?
