Gluten-Free Brioche Buns
Description
Enriched doughs like brioche are often made with added milk, butter, and sugar. For individuals looking for dairy-free options, we recently made a recipe featuring coconut milk in the enriched dough, which gave the bread a wonderfully tropical, summery feel.

Make the Dough

First Fermentation

Let the dough ferment for 45 minutes at room temperature until doubled in size.

Shape each into a ball and place on a parchment-lined baking tray.
Second Fermentation

Cover and let rise again for 45 minutes.
