- 500 g Weizenmehl (Type 550 oder 405)
- 180 g Milch
- 25 g Zucker
- 10 g Salz
- 10 g Hefe (frisch)
- 2 pieces Eier (nur das Eigelb) Only yolks are used.

Instructions
Preparation
- Prepare the flour roux by combining 25 g of flour with 100 g of milk in a saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly until it thickens, then remove from heat and allow to cool.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 500 g of flour, 180 g of milk, 25 g of sugar, 10 g of salt, and 10 g of fresh yeast. Once the roux has cooled, add it to the mixture.
- Add 2 egg yolks and the cold butter to the bowl. Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.
Shaping
- After the first rise, divide the dough into equal portions and shape each into a round bun.
- Place the buns on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Cover with a cloth and let them rise again until they have doubled in size, about 30-60 minutes.
Baking
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Whisk together 1 egg yolk and 2 tablespoons of milk in a small bowl, and brush this mixture over each bun.
- Bake the buns for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
For storage, keep the buns in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days or freeze them tightly wrapped once cooled. You can also customize fillings and condiments for various burger styles.
