Pistachio Free Brioche Burger Buns

Soft, pillowy, and rich with butter and eggs, these brioche burger buns are the kind of thing that makes a backyard cookout feel genuinely special. The dough comes together in a stand mixer, and the slow butter incorporation is what gives each bun that signature tender, feathery crumb that store-bought versions can never quite replicate. Every ingredient here is straightforward pantry staple territory — flour, eggs, butter, milk, yeast — so there's no guesswork about what's hiding in the mix. For anyone navigating tree nut concerns at the grocery store, baked goods can be a surprisingly tricky category, but making buns from scratch with these simple, clearly labeled ingredients puts you fully in control. The egg wash gives each bun a gorgeous deep golden finish, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds adds a little visual flair if you're feeling fancy. They bake up beautifully domed and hollow-sounding when tapped, which is exactly the sign you want before pulling them from the oven. Let them cool just long enough to slice cleanly, then load them up — they can handle a serious burger.
