Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Stir to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter over medium-low heat until the butter is just melted and the mixture is warm but not hot. Allow to cool slightly if it becomes too hot to touch.
Step 3
Add the warm milk mixture to the bowl with the dry ingredients, followed by the egg. Stir until the dough starts to come together.
Step 4
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-6 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add small amounts of flour as needed.
Step 5
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each piece into a smooth ball and place them on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced about 1 inch apart.
Step 6
Cover the buns with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise for 20 minutes in a warm place, or until they noticeably puff up.
Step 7
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while the buns are rising.
Step 8
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Step 9
Remove the buns from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them plain or with your favorite toppings!
