Private Selection Brioche Buns
What it is
These are soft, slightly sweet, and rich buns made with eggs and butter. Their tender crumb and golden crust come from the generous amount of fat incorporated into the dough during preparation. They have a delicate flavor that complements many toppings and fillings, making them a versatile choice for various meals. The texture is lighter and airier than many other types of bread rolls.

Toast them lightly for a delightful crunch, or use them as they are for a soft, yielding bite. They are ideal for crafting gourmet burgers, holding rich fillings for breakfast sandwiches, or serving as a base for decadent French toast. Their slight sweetness also makes them a wonderful foundation for fruit-based desserts or bread puddings. Warm them gently in the oven or on a griddle to enhance their aroma and texture.
