Ingredients

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 cup Warm water
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine butter and milk. Heat over medium-low until the butter is melted, then remove from heat and let cool until lukewarm.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the lukewarm water and the lukewarm butter-milk mixture.

Step 4

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, followed by the egg. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 5

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, or until soft, smooth, and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook on medium speed for 6-8 minutes.

Step 6

Grease a large bowl with vegetable oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat it in the oil, then cover with a clean towel or plastic wrap.

Step 7

Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 8

Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced apart to allow for expansion.

Step 9

Cover the buns lightly with a towel and let rise again for 30-40 minutes, or until puffed and doubled in size.

Step 10

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 11

Bake the buns for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack. For extra softness, brush the tops lightly with melted butter while still warm.

Step 13

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
