Ingredients

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 Fresh jalapenos, diced
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds (optional, for topping)
• 1 large Egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat the milk until warm (about 110°F/43°C). Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted.

Step 3

Add the warm milk mixture to the dry ingredients along with the eggs. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 4

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic, or use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 6-8 minutes.

Step 5

Gently knead in the diced jalapenos until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each bun.

Step 8

Cover the dough balls lightly with a towel and let them rise again for about 30-45 minutes, or until puffy.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 10

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make the egg wash.

Step 11

Brush the egg wash over the buns and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if using.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 13

Remove the buns from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack before serving.
