I made some Deli Buns last week and love the "pretzel" flavors of the onion, poppy seeds, and sesame seeds on the top. From the other recipes on here I am sure you can tell that I am a burger and fries kind of guy so when we decided to make burgers this week I wanted a fresh bun that would hold up the amount of cheese an toppings we were going to pile on.
On weekends I can usually be talked into to going out for a meal or two and one of the places within walking distance with great food is LOCAL on 8th. They make fresh burgers and buns that are worth the 13 bucks. I wanted to recreate their "rustic" bun and settled on a "brioche" bun.
These buns ended up being perfect with the exact eggy/buttery flavour that I was craving along with looking like a million dollars. I would have been happy if I ordered this in a restaurant.
For my birthday Jess got me this Vintage looking canvas that I have hanging in the kitchen that really inspired me for this meal:
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water
- 3 tbsp warm milk (I microwaved it for about 45 seconds)
- 2 tsp active dry yeast
- 2 1/2 tbsp sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 3 cups bread flour (I used all purpose flour because I didn't have bread flour and used 3 1/2 cups total)
- 1/3 cup all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened.
- sesame seeds, minced onions, poppy seeds
Directions:
- In your stand mixer, combine 1 cup warm water, 3 tbsp milk, yeast and sugar. Let proof about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, beat 2 eggs.
- Add the flours, salt and butter.
- Stir in beaten egg.
- Run the mixer about 8-10 minutes (I only use the dough hook because I am too lazy to wash anything extra).
- Shape the dough into a ball. Cover bowl with damp kitchen towel (or paper towel) and let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled is size (about 1 hr).
- Line a a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper. Divide the dough into 8 parts.
- To shape the dough into balls. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let buns rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
- Beat the last egg and brush the buns with the egg wash then top with the sesame seeds, minced onions, poppy seeds.
- Preheat your oven to 400 F. Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
