  • About

Homemade buns transform a burger – it’s so easy to make your own, plus they freeze brilliantly. Brioche burger buns are also a game-changer (see the brioche recipe).

Ingredients

  • 20 g fresh yeast
  • 225 ml tepid milk
  • 600 g

Method

Stir the yeast into the tepid milk (remember, anything above 50°C (122°F) will kill yeast). After about 5 minutes, it should be creamy and slightly frothy on top.

Sieve the flour and salt into the bowl of a stand mixer, then add the sugar and rub in the butter. Whisk the egg and add it to the yogurt. Finally, add the milk and the yogurt to the flour. Knead with the dough hook for 5–6 mi
