Directions

  1. 1Add 1/3 cup of warm water to the electric mixer bowl.
  2. 2Add 3/4 cup of warm milk to the bowl. I microwaved it for 30 seconds straight from the fridge.
  3. 3Add 2 teaspoons of yeast to the mixture.
  4. 4Add about a tablespoon and a half of honey (or sugar if preferred).
  5. 5Whisk the ingredients well and let sit on the counter for about 5 minutes.
  6. 6Add a quarter cup of melted butter to the frothy mixture.
  7. 7Crack in one egg.
  8. 8Add a sprinkle of salt, as salted butter was used.
  9. 9Add 3 1/2 cups of flour in total, mixing in batches with an electric mixer.
  10. 10Grease the bowl with some olive oil and place the dough back in.
  11. 11Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for about one hour.
  12. 12Cut the rested dough into eight equal pieces, weighing between 115 to 120 grams each.
  13. 13Roll each piece of dough into a ball by stretching the edges and tucking in the seams.
  14. 14Place the dough balls onto a cookie tray lined with parchment paper.
  15. 15Cover the dough balls and let them do a second rest for about 30 minutes.
  16. 16Brush the rested buns with egg wash.
  17. 17Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the buns (optional, I'm leaving two without for Harper).
  18. 18Bake the buns in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes.
