Ingredients

• 1 cup Warm water
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 1 piece Large egg
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons Sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 3.5 cups Bread flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 piece Egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Add the warm water, milk, egg, unsalted butter, sugar, salt, bread flour, and active dry yeast to the bread pan of your bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer.

Step 2

Set your bread machine to the 'Dough' cycle and start it.

Step 3

Once the dough cycle is complete (typically 1.5 hours), remove the dough from the bread machine and transfer it to a lightly floured surface.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions for standard-sized buns or 10-12 portions for smaller buns. Shape each portion into a smooth ball.

Step 5

Place the dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them approximately 2-3 inches apart to allow room for rising.

Step 6

Cover the dough balls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise in a warm place for approximately 30-45 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 8

Whisk together the egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Lightly brush the tops of the buns with the egg wash. If desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 10

Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
