Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml Warm water
- 60 ml Milk
- 25 g Granulated sugar
- 7 g Active dry yeast
- 480 g All-purpose flour
- 7 g Salt
- 45 g Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 Egg
- 1 Egg yolk
- 10 g Sesame seeds
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, milk, sugar, and yeast. Mix gently and let sit for 5–10 minutes, allowing the yeast to activate and become foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture, softened butter, and the egg. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead by hand for 8–10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 4–6 minutes.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours or until it doubles in size.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each bun.
Cover the shaped buns loosely with plastic wrap or a towel and allow them to rise for 30–40 minutes until puffy.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and a teaspoon of water to make an egg wash.
Brush the tops of the buns with the egg wash and sprinkle generously with sesame seeds.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let the buns cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
