Oh dear I really want to make these rather badly but I only have a food processor and a hand mixer. I might attempt it with the hand mixer in a much smaller batch and report back.

A - Oh, glad you and your guests liked them! When I freeze these buns, I just throw them 3-4 into a freezer bag and let them thaw out overnight in the refrigerator. To serve, I either split one up and toast it or wrap each in a slightly-moistened piece of paper towel and microwave it on medium briefly.

However, in a catering situation, you may want to be extra careful. I would wrap the buns individually with Saran wrap, freeze them in a zipper bag (don't crowd the bag or the buns get squished and lose their shape. Then thaw them, wrapped, in the fridge overnight. This prevent the buns from sticking together while they freeze and thaw which could result in the surface peeling off.

Thank you for this recipe! I made it for a party I hosted and everyone loved them -- they couldn't believe they were homemade! :) Quick question for you -- you say that they freeze beautifully -- I am catering a party for 73 people and I'm hoping to make them in advance -- how would you suggest freezing them? If I just put them in a large zip-lock bag, is that good? Or should I individually wrap them with saran wrap first? And when you take them out of the freezer, do you just let them thaw out naturally? And they stay moist?

Thank you so much for your help!

Anon - Looks like English to me and it downloads fine for me. Try opening the file in a different browser, perhaps? If nothing works on your end, please email me and I'll send you the pdf file.

Why is the downloaded version in another language?...

Rachelle - Ouch. Sorry to hear that. Mine is a heavy-duty one, although the original recipe doesn't say it needs to be heavy-duty. Perhaps I need to add a note to the post. Thanks!

I added this post to my favorites a long time ago, eagerly awaiting the time when I would have a stand mixer. I received a new Kitchen Aid for Christmas and today was the day to make the gorgeous buns! Well, it killed my mixer. Badly. It makes all sorts of noises now and can't even mix up a basic brownie batter. I think it was broken from the beginning though, because it has always seemed a bit loud and less powerful than others I've used. The good news is that I called Kitchenaid and they're replacing my mixer free of charge. Hurray! I don't think I'll be trying this with my new one though. Now--what to do with the half mixed dough...

I just finished making this recipe and it turned out quite well. Looks pretty much just like the picture. My only comment is that the 3rd rise of 45 minutes may not be long enough depending on how much the dough got manhandled. I'd suggest letting them rise until they're at least 50% taller than when originally formed. Some of mine didn't rise very much before baking (and I gave them 45 min + the preheat time of the oven) and turned out a little flatter than I'd prefer - others turned out just right.

We'll see how they taste tonight.

Looks wonderful!

Sad to say that this is one recipe I can't try at the moment because I am KA-less :(

That looks divine. I'll admit that I don't have a proper mixer because I rarely bake but this might change my mind.

Brilliant stuff Leela! They look perfect! I made brioche buns for hamburgers for Australia Day (which is usually a BBQ) and they were such a hit. If you're looking for a hamburger Wagyu recipe, I posted on for Wagyu burgers which go really well with the brioche.
