When you think of a Sunday breakfast, the tasty and soft Stuten is of course a must, but a new speciality are the small, almost bite-sized, Brioche Buchteln - not a whole Buchtel, not brioche bread - but a mixture of two of the tastiest and best breakfast breads, which are simply a must for Sunday breakfasts. Traditional American dinner rolls that taste just as good with steak as they do with pasta.
Firstly, heat the milk to room temperature and add the yeast, stir in gently and leave to stand.
14 g instant yeast
190 g whole milk
Mix the flour, sugar and salt in a bowl and then add the egg and butter. Allow the ingredients to mix slowly and then slowly add the yeast and milk mixture while stirring.
350 g cake flour
35 g sugar
3 g fine salt
35 g spreadable butter
1 egg
Once all the ingredients have been mixed, knead the food processor on a higher speed for approx. 4-5 minutes until a homogeneous mixture is formed and the sides of the food processor are almost clean again. Start 5 minutes timer here
Place the dough in a warm place without draughts and leave to rise for approx. 1 hour. Alternatively, you can also leave the dough to rise in a preheated oven (50°), then switch off and leave to rise for approx. 30-40 minutes. Start 40 minutes timer here
Then remove the dough from the bowl (it should have roughly doubled in size) and spread it out on a floured work surface.
Now divide into 12 equal pieces (approx. 55g per piece) and shape into round balls. Depending on the loaf tin or square springform tin, these can then be placed in a 3×4 format. Make sure you allow enough space, as these dinner rolls or brioche buns will more than double in size.
Cover and leave to rise at room temperature for another 30 minutes. The balls should now have increased significantly in size. Start 30 minutes timer here
Heat the oven to 180 °C and then bake the tin with the dinner rolls for 16 minutes. Start 16 minutes timer here
Remove the Dinner Brioche Buns from the oven once they are baked and brush with the room temperature milk. This will give them a nice shine and keep the dinner rolls soft and fluffy for longer. If necessary, remove the springform tin and carefully transfer the buns to a wire rack to cool.
