Softest Brioche Burger Buns Ever w/ Korean Fried Chicken | Perfect Chicken Burger Recipe

I have said it before, and I will say it again - brioche is the most versatile dough. You can make anything with it. And if you did not know that then check out the Brioche playlist where I have plenty more delicious recipes using this soft and buttery dough.
But burger buns are a great introduction to it. Brioche buns are arguably the best burger vessels ever created. The sweetness of the bun balances the savoury filling, and the texture makes it effortless to bite through and get your teeth right into the burger.
You can fill these buns with what ever you like if you do not want to mess around making the Korean fried chicken, but if you have never tried it, I would strongly suggest giving it a go. The sauce is spicy, sweet, sour, and sticky and the best part is that the chicken stays nice and crispy. The other fillings like the slaw and pickles compliment it well cutting through the sweetness and fattiness. It is a well-balanced and crazy delicious burger!

[@bloodorange7428]

Hi Charlie, love how versatile this dough is. I want to experiment and use it for different recipes, but I am unsure of what temperature and cooking times to use for my oven. Do you have any tips for determining how hot and how long the bake should be?

[@ChainBaker]

The brioche playlist has pretty much every kind of bread in it that would require a specific temperature. So just check those videos and you will get a good idea of temperatures :)

[@KirschFamilyVideos]

I've tried this video recipe along with a different baker's for Brioche buns and my buns are NOT rising. With this recipe everything was exactly as demonstrated. The dough was 25 deg C after the mixing process. I've had the shaped dough balls sitting at room temp for nearly 6 hours and they've hardly risen at all. I used instant dry yeast which I use for other baking projects like ciabatta, croissants, focaccia, pizza, etc and those all had risen as expected.

[@ChainBaker]

Interesting. There is no reason for it to not rise if you followed everything exactly. Perhaps your kitchen is cold?

[@KirschFamilyVideos]

Thank you so much for responding. My kitchen is 74 deg F. I tested my yeast tonight and it got foamy so I’m not sure where I’m failing. I’m going to try again but bloom the yeast in the water before adding to the flour mixture. Should I proof the buns inside the oven. With the light on to create a warmer environment? Any other tips?

[@ChainBaker]

@KirschFamilyVideos proofing it in a warm environment would definitely help. Brioche can take a long time to rise for sure.

[@AnthonyLeighDunstan]

Buttermilk in the batter! Have only recently discovered this. Who came up with that?! Genius!

[@ChainBaker]

Oh yes it works so well! 🤤

[@AnthonyLeighDunstan]

@@ChainBaker it’s a real natural tenderiser and imparts a great flavour!

[@nickshadow2622]

I have no idea who came up with it, but my Mother did it for at least 60 years.

[@alejandroolivas3476]

Hello Chain Baker!!!! Just wondering, would you say there ir a massive difference in both texture and flavor between this brioche burger buns and the one you made with the yudane method? I like that the yudane buns take way less time to make and they look awesome as well. Thanks a lot!!!!

[@ChainBaker]

Brioche is much richer and very buttery. But I actually prefer the yudane buns most of the time.

[@AJAA2916]

any thoughts about adding preferment to this recipe and removing all the egg whites; replacing all the liquids with milk? I'm planning to do this

[@ChainBaker]

There is no reason for using a preferment as the whole dough is slow fermented. It would not bring any benefit. You can definitely swat the egg whites with milk especially because egg white and milk are both made up of 90% water, so no adjustments for the amounts needed.

[@LesserDragonYT]

Would it be possible to swap the cold ferment for a shorter room temp ferment? If so, what would you suggest so i can get some of these buns the same day 😅

[@ChainBaker]

Sure. Let the dough bulk ferment for 2 - 3 hours, then divide, shape, proof, and bake. The final proof will take around 2h.

[@calvinyip364]

Do you glaze the top of the buns after they come out of the oven?

[@ChainBaker]

Not when I glaze them before I bake them. I think the egg glaze is enough. But you could glaze them with some light sugar syrup or oil after baking to keep them shinier and softer for longer. Not that they will last long before being eaten anyway 😄

[@oe8502]

Simple question, does using a mixer affect the bread, because I normally see it done with hands instead of a mixer.

[@ChainBaker]

Depends on how long it's mixed for. It is easier to develop gluten with a mixer. The bread can rise up vertically instead of spreading out sideways a bit. But the same results can be achieved. All my recipes are kand kneaded except this one. Although I do have a hand mixed brioche guide too - kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6Gzo6iBa5WoqZI

[@alessiekim6362]

Can i use the recipe of the buns for koream creamcheese garlic bread?

[@ChainBaker]

Definitely! That would be the best cream cheese garlic bread ever 🤩 let me know how it turns out 👍

[@alessiekim6362]

Haven't tried yet, i'm still practicing how to knead properly. I just started this 2nd week of December, i learning few things about bread in your channel , hoping to learn more!! Glad i found your channel. Thankyou!

[@dozzerman99]

Would there be any benefit using a preferment like poolish in this brioche recipe? TIA

[@ChainBaker]

The long cold fermentation will achieve the same as a preferment would. I would use one method or the other, but I don't think there is any benefit from combining them.

[@dozzerman99]

@@ChainBaker Thanks for replying!!

[@Louetted]

Drooooolllll

[@abokias]

There are a lot on recipes of brioch where eggs and butter are room temperature. So is it really that everything must be cold or rather the same temperature?

[@ChainBaker]

If the dough becomes too warm it will ferment too rapidly and risk over fermenting.

[@NJ_1315]

Would love to see this Dien without the mixer and done by hand.

[@ChainBaker]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6Gzo6iBa5WoqZI

[@steffanmorais2838]

Is the cold proof necessary? Is there another way to go about it without the cold proof? Is it purely for flavour are you wanting it to gas up a bit? When doing a much bigger batch, it proofs a lot in the fridge, losing almost a lot of the gas. Thanks

[@ChainBaker]

You can just continue and finish it on the same day. Wait for it to double and then divide, shape, etc.

[@steffanmorais2838]

@@ChainBaker thank you

[@michaelclimo219]

How long can I refrigerate the second half before it becomes un useable? TIA

[@ChainBaker]

I would not leave it for more than two days. One ideally.

[@michaelclimo219]

@@ChainBaker Thanks!

[@Jeepy2-LoveToBake]

Charlie, can I freeze the Brioche dough?

[@ChainBaker]

I have tried freezing dough a couple of times only. Still experimenting with it. You can freeze it. The best way to do it is right after final shaping. Make sure the dough balls are well covered so they don't get freezer burn. Once you are ready to bake take them out, place them on a tray and cover with cling film. Let them defrost and go through final proofing before baking. Apparently the longer you freeze it the less active the yeast will be, so try not to keep them in the freezer for ages. I am still working on finding the best way to do it though 😄 let me know of your results 👍

[@Jeepy2-LoveToBake]

@@ChainBaker Thank you for the advice - always much appreciated. ☺

[@39zack]

@@ChainBaker I guess the finished buns can be frozen and toasted?

[@ChainBaker]

That works best with more hearty bread. Something as light as these buns may risk becoming stale in the freezer. I will make a full episode with some tests on this topic in the near future :)

[@Jeepy2-LoveToBake]

@@ChainBaker Thanks, I look forward to your future tests on “all things baking”. 👍😊

[@bdnrsc]

Tried making the recipe, it gained some volume in the fridge overnight, but after the final shape (3-4h) it barely grew - left it a couple of hours more but to no result. Have you encountered this before, do you think the yeast has gone bad?

[@ChainBaker]

What was the dough temperature after mixing?

[@bdnrsc]

@@ChainBaker 24

[@ChainBaker]

That could be the issue, especially if you fridge is quite cold too. One thing you can do next time to fix it is to leave the dough outside for 30 - 45 minutes before starting the chilling process. This should give it enough of a head start 👍

[@bdnrsc]

@@ChainBaker Awesome, I'll try that next time! You might be right, my fridge also has some ice deposits in the back and it might be colder than expected from a normal fridge. Appreciate the answer, I love your videos!

[@jeffreyslavens2164]

I've tried this brioche recipe twice now with similar results. I chilled all of my ingredients as instructed, and mixed the dough with no issues. Everything came together fine, however during the bulk fermentation stage I cannot get any rise to come from the dough. I make white loafs twice weekly so I know my yeast is fine. When beginning the bulk ferment stage my dough was 27c, which I know is a bit high. The following day I let the dough rest and come to room temperature, but even after roughly 5 hours I saw little to no rise with only the occasional bubble forming. The final product has a dense crumb, rises slightly during baking but is nowhere near as light and fluffy as I'd expect.

[@jeffreyslavens2164]

I have the second half of my cold-fermented batch and am going to try again with your doughnut recipe tomorrow. If you have any tips I'd love to hear them

[@ChainBaker]

How is the temperature in your kitchen? If it's quite cool, then it could take a lot longer to rise. You can safely place it in a warmer area to make it rise faster. Since the flavour is already developed during the long cold proof, there is no need to let it ferment for many hours during the final proof. You could even place it near a radiator or in the oven with the light on.

[@jeffreyslavens2164]

@@ChainBaker I had thought this was the case, but I saw zero rise at all. I even tried putting some boiling water in a basin in the oven with the dough, but still nothing. I'm wondering if somehow I killed my yeast with the eggs before mixing, or possibly had too little moisture (measured correctly). I let them rest for 6+ hours and by the end of it they were practically weeping oils from the butter in the dough.

[@sonaliteli2645]

Did you figure out what the issue was? I’m about to try making these today

[@jeffreyslavens2164]

@@sonaliteli2645 yes! It was over-kneaded. I think during the butter mixing phase I let the stand mixer run too long. A week later I tried the same recipe using a no-knead method and the result was perfect if only a little too loose/airy
