Getting better with brioche buns

this is my second attempt and I think that I am finally there.  These buns were excellent and my eggwash wash was about perfect.  I'm going to play a bit more and see what I can do to improve next time!

    Just when you think you have the game figured out...you see this and realize you need to work on your short game.

    Looks amazing.

    You obviously need to work on these. I mean, look at that one on the right, 3rd from the top... deplorable

    That's just the envy talking :smiley: Thanks for sharing the recipe. I made hamburger buns a couple of times, and they were so much better than store bought buns. These look like they will be even better. 

    And how big are those buns? 4" diameter?
