Prep Time: 30 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Proofing Time: minimum 2 hours

Servings: 8 - 12 rolls

Ingredients:

1. 3 cups all-purpose plain flour

2. ¾ cup milk, warm and as needed

3. 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

4. 2 teaspoon vanilla essence

5. 150 grams melted salted butter

6. 1 tablespoon instant dried yeast

7. 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Method:

· Add all the ingredients except maple syrup to a large bowl

· Mix until combined.

· Using a stand-mixer knead the dough for at least 10 minutes or until the dough becomes soft and elastic.

· If the dough is a little dry, add a little more milk and butter, and knead again.

· The softer your dough is, the softer your brioche buns will be.

· Leave the dough in the bowl and cover with a damp tea towel

· Let the dough rest in a warm area to double in size for at least 1 hour.

· When the dough is puffy, divide it into 8-12 even parts

· Shape each part into a smooth round ball.

· Arrange the balls on a lined baking tray with about 2 inches between each one.

· Cover the tray with a damp tea towel and leave it in a warm area to rest for at least 1 hour. The dough should increase in size and feel puffy.

· Preheat the oven to 180°C

· Bake the buns the oven for 20 minutes or until the surface is golden brown.

· To make the brioche glaze, combine the maple syrup with 1 tablespoon of water.

· When the brioche buns are still hot, brush the top with the glaze syrup then allow it to rest.

· Enjoy fresh with curries or just with your evening chai
