Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 cups Warm milk (110°F)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large Egg, beaten
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Optional: sesame seeds or poppy seeds (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and active dry yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Mix well to combine.

Step 3

Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, beaten egg, and honey to the dry ingredients. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8–10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until manageable.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Step 6

Punch the dough down, then shape it into small rounds or your desired bread shape. Place the shaped dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 7

Let the shaped dough rise again for 20–30 minutes, covered with a kitchen towel.

Step 8

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Optionally, brush the top of the dough with melted butter or egg wash, and sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 10

Allow the bread to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
