Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 packet Instant yeast
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Warm water
• 1 quarter cup Milk
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large Egg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the warm water, milk, melted butter, and egg until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula. Once the dough begins to come together, knead it gently by hand for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add a little more flour if the dough is too sticky.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and place them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Cover the buns loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise in a warm place for 10–15 minutes, or until slightly puffed.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown on top.

Step 8

Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
