Ingredients

For the Brioche Buns:

• 50g (4 Tbsp) sugar 🍬
• 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast 🍞
• 565g all-purpose flour 🌾
• 1 tsp salt 🧂
• 2 eggs, at room temperature 🥚
• 1 tsp vanilla bean paste 🍦
• 90g unsalted butter, at room temperature 🧈
• Egg wash: 1 egg whisked with 1 tsp water 🥄

For the Whipped Cream Filling:

• 700g heavy cream 🍶
• 120g powdered sugar, sifted 🍰
• 1 tsp vanilla bean paste 🍦
• Pinch of salt 🧂
• Raspberry jam or jam of your choice, to finish 🍇

Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Brioche Buns:

1. Activate Yeast: In a medium bowl, combine lukewarm milk, 2 Tbsp (25g) sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir and let it sit for 10-15 minutes, or until foamy. 🥛🍬🍞
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment, mix the remaining 2 Tbsp (25g) sugar, flour, salt, and vanilla bean paste. 🌾🧂🍦
3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the milk mixture and eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix on low for 2-3 minutes. Increase the speed to medium and mix for an additional 10 minutes. 🥚
4. Incorporate Butter: Gradually add the butter, a little at a time, mixing until fully incorporated. Continue mixing for another 10-15 minutes until the dough is smooth and soft. 🧈
5. First Rise: Shape the dough into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight or for a minimum of 3 hours. Alternatively, let it rise at room temperature for about 45 minutes. 🌙⏰

2️⃣ Shape and Bake the Buns:

1. Shape Dough: Turn the dough onto a surface and weigh it. Divide into 12 equal portions, shaping each into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap or a tea towel to prevent drying. 🌾
2. Prepare Baking Sheets: Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. 🧻
3. Form Buns: Flatten each ball of dough slightly, then roll into a 4” (10cm) long sausage shape. Place on the baking sheet, ensuring the ends are rounded. 🥖
4. Second Rise: Cover lightly with plastic wrap and let rise for 30-45 minutes until puffy and an indentation is left when gently poked. ⏳
5. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F / 180°C. 🔥 Brush the buns with egg wash and bake for 18-20 minutes, rotating the trays halfway through, until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. 🍞🌡️

3️⃣ Prepare the Filling and Assemble:

1. Whip Cream: In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla bean paste, and salt until medium peaks form. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a closed star tip. 🍶🍰🍦🧂
2. Fill Buns: Cut each bun vertically down the center, ensuring not to cut all the way through. Dust with powdered sugar. Pipe the cream filling into the middle. 🥖🍥
3. Add Jam: Pipe or spoon raspberry jam onto the cream. 🍓
