Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture with sugar, melted butter, egg, salt, and 2 cups of flour. Mix well until smooth.
-
Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough forms a soft ball. You may not need to use all the flour.
-
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
-
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
-
Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, flattening slightly with your hand.
-
Cover the buns with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Brush the risen buns with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
-
Remove from the oven and let the buns cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving with your favorite burgers.
