Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Nonfat milk
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 Egg white
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
In a small saucepan, warm the nonfat milk and water over low heat until lukewarm (about 110°F or 43°C).
Add the lukewarm milk and water mixture, egg white, and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients in the bowl.
Mix the ingredients until a soft dough forms. If using a stand mixer, use the dough hook attachment and knead on medium speed for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. If kneading by hand, turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Punch down the risen dough to release excess air. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.
Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between them. Cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let them rise for another 20-30 minutes until nearly doubled.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Once the buns have risen, lightly spray the tops with water or cooking spray to keep them soft.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the buns are lightly golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let the buns cool on a wire rack.
Serve the buns warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
