Ingredients
- 480 g All-purpose flour
- 50 g Granulated sugar
- 10 g Instant yeast
- 8 g Salt
- 240 ml Whole milk
- 60 g Unsalted butter
- 2 units Large eggs
- 15 g Sesame seeds (optional, for topping)
- 1 unit Egg (for egg wash)
- 15 ml Water (for egg wash)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Whisk to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, heat the milk and unsalted butter over low heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm (approximately 37–40°C or 98–104°F). Do not overheat.
Step 3
In a separate small bowl, lightly beat one of the large eggs. Add the warm milk-butter mixture and beaten egg to the dry ingredients. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
Step 4
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead for 8–10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook on medium speed for about 5–6 minutes.
Step 5
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Step 6
Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal portions (approximately 100 g each). Shape each portion into a ball and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space for the buns to rise.
Step 7
Cover the baking sheet loosely with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let the buns rise for another 30 minutes, or until they puff up significantly.
Step 8
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Step 9
In a small bowl, whisk the remaining egg with the water to create an egg wash. Gently brush the tops of the buns with the egg wash, and if desired, sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
Step 10
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Step 11
Allow the buns to cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving with your favorite burger patties and toppings.
