Brioche Buns

Post by dancing james »

Where can I get 150 brioche type buns for serving pulled pork etc?

Any suggestions as I'd like to get a bulk discount rather than pay supermarket prices.

Baking is not my speciality and I don't have the oven for 100 rolls.

Why not try your local bakery?

Forgive me but why would you want to cover your potential customer in detritus? I have yet to be served a pp roll in an brioche bun that did not completely disintegrate en route to my pie hole and schlek coleslaw sauce and pp down my shirt.

Maybe, just maybe acceptable with a burger provided there is nothing with any moisture content like sauce, but not for pp. I was served a chilli dog recently in an brioche roll.....great sausage, splendid chilli, slow cooked onions and brown mustard.......I offered the waitress a £20 tip if she could lift it an take a bite, not even close, she offered me a knife and fork, but I don't want to eat a bloody hot dog with a knife and fork, same goes for a pulled port roll.

Brioche buns are a bloody abomination and should be outlawed at the earliest possible opportunity

Now that is something I could get behind....or perhaps in front of ;)

If a brioche bun is toasted first they seem to stay together quite well. It's not for customers but for my wedding party in a month's time. The other week i used the Waitrose Heston Blumenthal brioche buns and they were fantastic but far to pricey (£150 for 2).

You need to speak to a local bakery, or perhaps a supermarket that has an in-house bakery and see if they will do you a deal.

The ALDI brioche buns are some of the better ones I've tried.

otherwise you could look online at companies like Hobbs House Bakery, but they aren't cheap
