Ingredients

Scale

Brioche Buns

  • 280g whole milk, lukewarm
  • 50g (4 Tbsp) sugar
  • 2¼ tsp active dry yeast
  • 565g all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 90g unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • Egg Wash: 1 egg whisked with 1 tsp water

Whipped Cream Filling

  • 700g heavy cream
  • 120g powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • Pinch of salt

To Finish

  • Raspberry jam or jam of your choice

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix lukewarm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add eggs, vanilla bean paste, and the activated yeast mixture. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Add softened butter gradually and knead until the dough becomes smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky.
  4. Cover the bowl with a damp towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1–2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  5. Divide the dough into equal pieces (about 12–14 depending on size preference), shape into smooth balls, and place on a parchment-lined baking tray.
  6. Brush each bun with egg wash and let rise again for 30–45 minutes until puffy.
  7. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 15–20 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool completely.
  8. While buns cool, prepare the filling: whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla bean paste, and a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Keep chilled.
  9. Once buns are cooled, slice each horizontally. Spread a layer of raspberry jam on the bottom half, then pipe or spoon on a generous layer of whipped cream.
  10. Gently sandwich the top half of the bun over the cream. Serve immediately or store in the fridge for a cool, creamy treat!

Notes

  • Ensure buns are completely cooled before adding cream to prevent melting.
  • You can use store-bought brioche buns for a shortcut.
  • Try different jam flavors like strawberry, blueberry, or apricot for variety.
  • Add fresh berries between the jam and cream for an extra juicy twist.
  • Best enjoyed the day they’re made, but leftovers can be stored chilled for up to 24 hours.
