KEY INGREDIENTS

THE BRIOCHE DOUGH:

• Whole Milk
• Eggs
• All-purpose Flour
• Fresh yeast
• Unsalted butter
• Salt
• Sugar

• Milk
• Cornstarch
• Eggs

TIPS FOR THE PERFECT BUNS

Use High-Quality Ingredients

• Butter: Opt for unsalted butter for a rich, buttery flavor in your brioche dough.
• Eggs: Use large, room-temperature eggs to ensure proper dough consistency and texture.
• Flour: Choose high-quality bread flour or all-purpose flour for the best results in your dough.

2. Perfect Your Dough

• Kneading: Knead the brioche dough until it’s smooth and elastic. This helps develop the gluten, giving the buns their soft, fluffy texture.
• Proofing: Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free place until it doubles in size. This ensures the buns are light and airy.

3. Make a Creamy Custard

• Smooth Consistency: Ensure your custard is smooth and well-cooked to avoid lumps. Strain it through a sieve if necessary.
• Cool Properly: Let the custard cool slightly before filling the buns to prevent it from melting the dough.

4. Handle the Filling Carefully

• Even Distribution: Don’t overfill the buns to avoid spillage during baking. Aim for a balanced amount of custard and jelly.
• Seal Well: Pinch and seal the dough properly around the filling to prevent it from leaking out.

5. Shape the Buns Correctly

• Uniform Size: Divide the dough into equal portions to ensure all buns bake evenly.
• Shape Neatly: Shape the buns evenly and place them with adequate spacing on the baking sheet for even cooking.

6. Monitor Baking Time

• Check for Doneness: Bake the buns until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can make them dry, so keep an eye on them.

7. Let Cool Properly

• Cooling Rack: Transfer the buns to a wire rack to cool. This prevents them from becoming soggy as they cool down.

8. Storage Tips

• Keep Fresh: Store leftover buns in an airtight container to maintain their freshness.
• Reheat Gently: Reheat the buns in the oven for a few minutes to restore their softness.

9. Experiment with Variations

• Flavored Custards: Try adding vanilla, lemon, or chocolate flavors to your custard for a unique twist.
• Different Jellies: Experiment with various fruit jellies or preserves to find your favorite combination.
