Pumpkin Brioche Burger Buns
I've made several burger bun recipes before, but none have turned out as good as this one!
As it's pumpkin season and I was asked for a recipe for a pumpkin bun, I promptly came up with one.
The high pumpkin content not only gives the bun a great color, it also makes the bun very fluffy and keeps it fresh for longer.
Make sure you try it!
