Expert Tips
Follow our top tips for the perfect Thermomix brioche buns!
- Use Bakers flour or bread flour. This will give you the best, softest buns! If you don't have bread flour, you 'can' use regular plain flour but your buns wont be quite as good!
- Check your yeast to make sure that it's still active and in date before using.
- Allow the dough to rise in a warm spot until doubled in size. If you live in a cool climate, you can always place a hot water bottle under the base of the ThermoServer.
- If you don't have a ThermoServer, you can place the dough into a large bowl and cover the top with a tea towel.
- Brushing the tops of the dough buns with a mix of egg whites and water before baking will ensure that they have a lovely golden, crunchy top once baked.
- The cooking time will depend on your oven and also the size of your buns. Cook for 20-30 minutes or until the buns are golden on top and sound hollow when tapped.
- Our Thermomix brioche buns are best served on the day of baking, but they can be stored in a bread bag or wrapped in a tea towel for 1-2 days.
- Once cooled, you can freeze the buns for up to 3 months.

I made these as the smaller slider buns - they were perfect, easy to make and everyone loved them. Thank you!
Lucy says
YUM!
Cara says
Any idea how long they last?
And do they freeze well?
Lucy Mathieson says
Hi Cara, like all rolls these are best eaten on the day (or the following day). You can freeze them, however they're certainly better fresh 🙂
Xanthe says
Any way these could be made with gluten free flour? They look sooooo good!!!
Lucy says
Oooh good question!!! I've never tried that before so wouldnt like to say - but you could definitely give it a shot!!!
