Brioche Bun

A brioche bun is a rich and buttery bread roll, prized for its tender, slightly sweet flavor and incredibly soft, airy texture. Its golden-brown crust, often achieved through an egg wash, gives way to a light and fluffy interior. Brioche buns are often enriched with eggs and butter, giving them a signature yellow hue and a melt-in-your-mouth quality. If you're looking for a premium hamburger bun or a delicious pastry base, the brioche bun is a great choice.

Storage Tips

Brioche buns are best stored in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag at room temperature for up to 2-3 days. To extend their shelf life, you can freeze them for up to 2-3 months. Wrap each bun individually in plastic wrap before placing them in a freezer bag to prevent freezer burn. Thaw frozen brioche buns at room temperature or in the refrigerator before use. Lightly toasting them can restore their texture.
