Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the packet of active dry yeast over the mixture and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until the mixture becomes frothy.
-
Add the melted butter and egg to the yeast mixture, and whisk everything together until well combined.
-
Slowly incorporate the flour and salt into the wet ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.
-
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
-
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
-
Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down to release any air bubbles. Then, divide the dough into equal portions and shape each portion into a smooth ball.
-
Arrange the dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each bun to allow for rising.
-
Cover the buns with a kitchen towel and let them rise for an additional 30-45 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If desired, brush the tops of the buns with an egg wash and sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added flavor and visual appeal.
-
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
-
Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy these fluffy, freshly baked buns warm with butter or your favorite spread.
