4 eggs

Shape the dough into a round ball. Place it into the bowl. Cover with a damp cloth and rest at room temperature for 90 mins.

03 After 90mins, divide the dough into equal parts of 8. Shape each part into a round ball.

Place the rounded dough into a baking tin. Rest for 2 hours covered at room temperature.

Notes

You may slice and lightly toast the brioche buns. Serve with jam and coffee/tea.
If you prefer a shiny top, you may brush the top with mixture of 1 lightly beaten egg yolk + 1 tbsp milk about 5 mins before baking is done. After brushing, put it back in the oven to bake till done.
