Ingredients
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
2 tsp instant yeast
2 tbsp butter, softened
¾ cup warm milk
1 large egg
Sesame seeds, for topping
Instructions
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
Add Wet Ingredients:
Add warm milk, egg, and softened butter. Knead the dough for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
First Rise:
Cover the dough and let it rise for 1–2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Shape Buns:
Divide the dough into equal portions and shape into balls. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Second Proofing:
Cover and let the buns proof for 30–40 minutes.
Prepare for Baking:
Brush the tops with milk or egg wash, and sprinkle sesame seeds.
Bake:
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Cool:
Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
Egg wash gives a shiny, golden crust, while milk wash keeps the surface soft.
Store buns in an airtight container to keep them fresh for 2–3 days.
These buns freeze well; thaw at room temperature before slicing.
