Ingredients
- 240 ml Warm water
- 7 g Active dry yeast
- 45 ml Olive oil
- 1 large Egg
- 120 ml Whole milk (or unsweetened plant-based milk)
- 8 g Salt
- 480 g All-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour for a healthier alternative)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and active dry yeast. Allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy to activate the yeast.
Step 2
Add olive oil, the egg, milk, and salt to the bowl. Whisk together until well combined.
Step 3
Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Once the dough becomes too stiff to stir, switch to kneading.
Step 4
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Alternatively, you can use a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment for about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the dough has doubled in size.
Step 6
After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each bun.
Step 7
Cover the shaped buns with a clean towel and let them rise again for 30-45 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
Step 8
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) during the final rise.
Step 9
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden on top and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Step 10
Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
