Ingredients
- 430 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams White sugar
- 7 grams Salt
- 7 grams Instant yeast
- 250 milliliters Water (warm, about 110°F/45°C)
- 30 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 Large egg
- 1 Egg yolk
- 15 milliliters Milk (for egg wash)
- 10 grams Sesame seeds (optional, for topping)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
Step 2
Add the warm water, softened butter, and egg to the dry ingredients. Mix with a wooden spoon or the paddle attachment of a stand mixer until the dough begins to come together.
Step 3
If kneading by hand, transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If using a stand mixer, switch to the dough hook and knead for about 5-7 minutes on medium speed.
Step 4
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl. Cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm environment for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Step 5
Once risen, punch down the dough to release air. Divide it into 8 equal portions (approximately 90 grams each). Shape each portion into a smooth ball by tucking the edges underneath.
Step 6
Place the dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced a few inches apart. Gently flatten each ball with the palm of your hand to create a bun shape.
Step 7
Cover the buns lightly with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30-40 minutes, or until puffy and nearly doubled in size.
Step 8
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 9
Prepare the egg wash by whisking together the egg yolk and milk. Brush the buns evenly with the egg wash. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
Step 10
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Step 11
Remove the buns from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving. These buns are perfect for sandwiches or burgers!
