Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams active sourdough starter
- 250 milliliters warm water
- 500 grams bread flour
- 25 grams sugar
- 10 grams salt
- 50 grams butter, softened
- 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the active sourdough starter and warm water until well mixed.
Add the bread flour, sugar, and salt to the mixture. Stir until a rough dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Incorporate the softened butter into the dough, kneading until fully absorbed and the dough is smooth again.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise at room temperature for 3-4 hours or until it has doubled in size.
Gently deflate the dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide into 10 equal pieces, shaping each piece into a smooth ball.
Place the dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, slightly spaced apart. Cover and let them rise for another 2-3 hours or until nearly doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Brush the tops of the dough balls with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the buns are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Allow the buns to cool on a wire rack before serving.
