Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 0.25 cup Whole milk
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Salt
- 3.5 cups Bread flour
- 2.25 tsp Active dry yeast
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tbsp Milk (for brushing tops)
Instructions
Add the warm water, whole milk, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and salt to the bread machine pan in this order.
Add the bread flour on top of the wet ingredients, ensuring it covers them completely.
Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast.
Set the bread machine to the 'Dough' cycle and start it. This will usually take about 90 minutes to knead and rise.
Once the dough cycle completes, remove the dough from the bread machine and place it on a lightly floured surface.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each piece into a ball. Flatten the balls slightly to give them a bun-like shape.
Place the shaped rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between them to allow for expansion.
Cover the buns loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise in a warm spot for 30-40 minutes until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Brush the tops of the buns with milk for a golden and shiny finish.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Allow the buns to cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
