Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 cup Warm milk
- 0.5 cup Water
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Mix well.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine warm milk, water, and butter. Heat until the mixture is warm (about 110°F), and the butter is mostly melted. Stir to combine.
Add the warm liquid mixture and the egg to the flour mixture. Stir until well combined.
Gradually add the remaining 1 cup of flour, a little at a time, until the dough comes together and is no longer sticky. You may not need the full cup.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8–10 minutes or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Punch the dough down to release air. Divide it into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
Arrange the dough balls on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving a little space between each ball.
Cover the buns with a clean towel and let them rise again for about 30 minutes, or until they’ve doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. For extra shine, you can brush the tops with melted butter.
