Brioche Buns (makes 8)

1 Cup warm water
3 Tab warm milk
2 tsp active dry yeast
2 1/2 Tab sugar
2 large eggs
3 Cups bread flour
1/3 Cup AP flour
2 1/2 Tab unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 tsp salt
Sesame seeds if desired

1. Whisk together the warm water, milk, yeast and sugar. Beat 1 egg.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the flours, salt and butter. Using the paddle attachment, mix the ingredients until the butter is the size of crumbs.
3. Stir in yeast mixture and beaten egg. Run the mixer on medium-low until soft dough forms, about 5-8 minutes. (This is a tacky dough.)
4. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and shape dough into a ball (I just kept the dough in the mixer bowl for this step). Cover bowl with a damp kitchen towel and let dough rise until it has doubled, about 1-3 hours.
5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a floured dough scraper, divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. (The scale helps with this.)
6. Shape each dough ball. Put them on the baking sheet a few inches apart. Cover and rest for 1-2 hours, or until puffy and slightly risen.
7. When the buns are finished with the 2nd rise, gently brush each one with egg wash. (Whisk the remaining egg with a splash of water to make wash.) If you want to sprinkle with sesame seeds, this is the time to do it.
8. Preheat oven to 400* and place a baking dish filled about 1/2 with water to create steam. Bake buns 15-20 minutes or until brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

This is one of the reasons why I started baking all our bread. And that is how I ended up getting into sourdough baking. The sourdough started by accident. LOL

But now I cannot stand the stuff from the store!

I am going to be making our bread from now on. I'm not ok with what ever these companies are doing to our food that is making me sick. I don't think I will ever try sour dough. It's to much work for me. Lol

That's wonderful that you can make it with your hands.

I can't my hands are to weak.
Have been since I was in my mid 30's. I can't open a bottle of water. And sometimes i can't hold my coffee. Other times I'll pick something up and it will go flying across the room. I especially hate when it's my coffee! It takes me an hour to clean it up!
