Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Stir to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter over medium-low heat until the butter is just melted and the mixture is warm but not hot. Allow to cool slightly if it becomes too hot to touch.
Add the warm milk mixture to the bowl with the dry ingredients, followed by the egg. Stir until the dough starts to come together.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-6 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add small amounts of flour as needed.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each piece into a smooth ball and place them on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced about 1 inch apart.
Cover the buns with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise for 20 minutes in a warm place, or until they noticeably puff up.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while the buns are rising.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the buns from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them plain or with your favorite toppings!
