Fresh from the oven

Brioche buns fresh from the oven! 
Thanks sis for the treat. Delicious with pineapple and macadamia jam.


Recipe
200g unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 tbsp caster sugar
1 tsp salt
4 eggs, at room temperature
500g plain white flour
1 sachet (7g) dried yeast
200ml milk

1. Using an electric mixer, beat butter, sugar, salt and 3 eggs in a bowl until combined but not smooth.  Stir in flour, yeast and milk to form a sticky dough.  Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl.  Cover with plastic wrap.  Chill overnight (at least 4 hours).
2. Preheat oven to 190C or 170C fan.  Grease a 12-hole 1/3 cup-capacity muffin pan.  Stand dough at room temperature for 5 mins.  Using floured hands, shape dough into 12 balls.  Place in prepared pan.  Beat remaining egg and use to brush tops of dough.  Bake for 20 mins, until golden and buns sound hollow when tapped.  Turn out onto a wire rack.  Serve warm with extra butter.
