Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 1 cup Warm milk (around 110°F)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 whole Large egg
- 0.25 cup Water (warm, around 110°F as needed)
- 2 tablespoons Milk or egg wash for brushing the tops
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of the flour, the sugar, salt, and the packet of active dry yeast.
Heat the milk to about 110°F, then stir it into the dry ingredients. Mix until a smooth batter forms.
Add the softened butter and the egg, stirring until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. You may use your hands or a stand mixer with a dough hook for this step.
Add the warm water, a tablespoon at a time, if the dough feels too stiff or dry. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky, but not overly wet.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in an oiled bowl, turning it to coat the surface, then cover with a damp kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until the dough doubles in size.
Punch the dough down and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a round bun and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart.
Cover the buns loosely with plastic wrap and let them rise for another 30 minutes, or until they are puffy.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Before baking, brush the tops of the buns lightly with milk or an egg wash for a shiny finish.
Bake the buns for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Transfer the buns to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
