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
- In a small bowl, mix lukewarm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
- 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.
- Add softened butter gradually and knead until the dough becomes smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky.
- 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.
- 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.
- Brush each bun with egg wash and let rise again for 30–45 minutes until puffy.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 15–20 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool completely.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
