Grease a large flat baking tray and set aside.
Add the sugar, milk and yeast to the Thermomix bowl and warm for 1 minute, 37 degrees, Speed 1.
Add the butter, salt, flour and 1 egg. Mix for 10 seconds, Speed 7.
Knead on Interval Speed/Kneading Function for 3 minutes.
Place into the Thermoserver or a bowl, cover with a tea towel and place into a warm area to prove for 30 minutes (by this time the dough should have doubled in size).
Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces (for larger buns) or 20 equal pieces (for mini buns).
Shape into buns and place into the baking tray (touching one another).
Leave for a further 20 minutes to prove.
Preheat oven to 200 degrees celsius (fan-forced).
Whisk the egg whites and water together with a fork and then brush over the top of the buns.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes (cooking time will depend on the size of your buns).
The buns are ready when they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
Leave in the baking tray for 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

RECIPE NOTES & TIPS

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.
