Mini Brioche Burger Buns
These small burger buns are buttery and soft, perfect for luxurious burgers.
Here is a recipe for small hamburger buns in brioche style. You can of course double the amount of dough for each bun and then make 10 normal-sized hamburger buns instead, but in this particular case I wanted smaller buns and make a fancy burger for New Year's. In the end I made a bacon-filled venison burger with pickled chanterelles and juniper mayonnaise - I think it turned out really well.
The bread is good as is, but is even better if it is cut up and toasted in a dry frying pan until it begins to take on a little colour.
The bread is perfect for freezing immediately after it has cooled to room temperature. If you put the small buns in a bag and freeze, it is easy to just pick them out 1-2 hours before use.
The eggs I use are generally quite large, so I adjusted the amount of flour according to the recipe I started from. You can start with a smaller amount of flour and adjust upwards if the eggs used are small.
