Turmeric Free Brioche Burger Buns

Soft, pillowy, and rich with butter and eggs, these brioche burger buns are the kind of homemade bread that makes every burger feel like a restaurant-quality meal. The golden crust, tender crumb, and subtle sweetness hit every note you want from a classic brioche without a single unnecessary ingredient. For anyone avoiding turmeric, store-bought brioche buns can be a minefield — many commercial versions sneak in spices or colorings to achieve that signature golden hue, but here the color comes entirely from eggs, butter, and a proper egg wash. The recipe is straightforward and built around pantry staples: flour, sugar, salt, whole milk, and softened butter worked into a smooth, elastic dough using a stand mixer. A long, patient knead followed by two rises is what gives these buns their signature airy structure and slight chew. Brushed with an egg-and-milk wash before baking, they come out of the oven a deep, burnished brown that looks absolutely stunning. Let them cool just long enough before slicing — if you can manage it.
