Ingredients

• 1 cup Warm water (about 110°F/43°C)
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 1 count Large egg
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3 cups Bread flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast or bread machine yeast
• 1 count Egg (for egg wash, optional)
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Add the warm water, milk, egg, softened butter, sugar, and salt to the bread machine pan, in the order recommended by the manufacturer.

Step 2

Carefully add the bread flour on top of the liquid ingredients. Create a small well in the flour and add the instant yeast or bread machine yeast into the well.

Step 3

Set the bread machine to the 'Dough' setting and allow it to mix, knead, and rise. This process usually takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Step 4

Once the dough cycle is complete, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions for standard hamburger buns, or 10 portions for smaller buns.

Step 5

Shape each portion into a smooth ball. Press down gently to flatten each ball slightly into a bun shape. Place the buns onto a parchment-lined or lightly greased baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space to rise.

Step 6

Cover the buns loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise for 30 to 40 minutes, or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). If desired, whisk the additional egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the buns with the egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish.

Step 8

Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and transfer the buns to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice the buns horizontally before serving with your favorite burger or sandwich fillings. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
