  • 1 cup water, warm
  • 3 Tbsp milk, warm
  • 2 tsp active dry yeast
  • 2 1/2 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 3 1/2 cup bread flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 egg yolks, for egg wash
  • sesame seeds, optional

Instructions
 

  • Combine warm water, warm milk, yeast and sugar in small mixing bowl and let stand until foamy (about 5 minutes)
  • In large mixing bowl, add flour, salt and butter and mix until butter resembles crumbs. Stir in yeast mixture and beaten egg until dough forms.
  • Turn dough on to well-floured surface and knead for about 12−15 minutes (if using stand mixer with dough hook, mix 8−10 minutes). Return dough to bowl; cover with damp kitchen towel. Allow dough to rise in warm place until doubled in size, 1−2 hours.
  • Punch down dough and divide into 12 equal parts. Roll dough into tight balls, place seam side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover loosely with towel; allow to rise for 1−2 hours, or until doubled in size again
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Brush each bun with egg yolk; if yolk is too thick, thin with a few drops of water or cream. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.
  • Bake for 15−20 minutes on center rack until dark golden brown. Transfer to wire rack to cool completely
  • Slice in half, fill with your favorite filling and enjoy!
