Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.5 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 250 milliliters Whole milk
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk and unsalted butter over low heat until the butter melts and the mixture is warm to the touch (not hot).
Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients. Add the egg and mix everything until a sticky dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
Lightly oil a clean bowl with vegetable oil and place the kneaded dough in it, turning to coat the surface of the dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between the buns.
Cover the buns with a clean, damp towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes until they puff up.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Brush the tops of the buns with a little milk or an egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
Remove the buns from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.
