Instructions

Servings:4

1For the brioche buns heat the milk with the butter and molasses until the butter has melted. Add the cold water and egg to this mix.
2In a large bowl place flour, salt and yeast and mix. Then add the milk and water mix and stir with a wooden spoon until combined. You don't have to knead the dough, it is perfectly fine to do this by hand with a wooden spoon, this doesn't need to be very thorough. Cover with a damp towel and stick in the fridge overnight.

Chef tips

To keep the steak juicy and tender, sear it on a smoking hot pan for a very short time on each side. The kids will love helping you layer the vegetables and sauces inside the bun. For a gourmet upgrade, use thin slices of smoked goose breast instead of regular deli meat, and add truffle aioli or quality Dijon mustard for a fancy restaurant feel at home.
