Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Add the salt and vegetable oil to the yeast mixture and stir to combine.
Gradually add in the all-purpose flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing after each addition. When the dough becomes too stiff to stir, transfer it to a floured surface and knead for about 4-5 minutes until it forms a soft, smooth dough.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball. Place the balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them evenly apart.
Cover the dough balls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rest for 10 minutes to rise slightly.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, beat the egg and brush it over the tops of the dough balls. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them fresh with your favorite burger or sandwich fillings.
