Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 50 grams Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 60 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 250 milliliters Milk, warm
- 1 large Egg
- 1 large Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, sprinkle the yeast over the warm milk. Add a teaspoon of sugar from the measured amount and stir gently to dissolve. Let it stand for about 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center and add the frothy yeast mixture, the egg, and the softened butter.
Step 3
Mix the ingredients together until a rough dough forms. You can use a wooden spoon or a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment for this step.
Step 4
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Alternatively, if using a stand mixer, knead on medium speed for about 5-7 minutes.
Step 5
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Step 6
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to remove the air. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 10 equal pieces.
Step 7
Shape each piece into a ball by folding the edges into the center and rolling it on the counter until smooth.
Step 8
Place the shaped buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart. Cover with a cloth and let them rise again for about 30-40 minutes until they double in size.
Step 9
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 10
Gently brush the risen buns with the prepared egg wash for a golden and shiny finish.
Step 11
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown on top.
Step 12
Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
