Pescatarian Brioche Burger Buns with Sesame Seeds

Soft, pillowy, and rich with butter and eggs, these brioche buns are the kind of thing that makes any meal feel like a serious upgrade. The dough comes together in a stand mixer, and the slow butter incorporation is what gives brioche that signature tender, almost feathery crumb — it's a technique worth learning once and using forever. A glossy egg wash and a shower of sesame seeds before baking give the finished buns that bakery-quality look that's genuinely hard to resist. Since the entire recipe relies on simple pantry staples — flour, butter, eggs, milk, yeast — there's nothing to second-guess from an ingredient standpoint, making these a clean and straightforward bake. They come out deep golden and hollow-sounding when tapped, which is exactly the cue you want before pulling them from the oven. Let them cool just long enough to slice cleanly, then pile them high with your favorite fish burger, a crispy shrimp patty, or anything else that deserves a truly great bun.
