## Ingredients

- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup water
- 0.25 cup bread flour
- 1 cup warm water
- 10 grams active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 4.5 cups bread flour
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 whole egg
- 1 whole egg yolk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 egg wash
- 1 melted unsalted butter
- 1 Maldon salt

## Instructions

1. Make the Tangzhong: In a saucepan, combine ½ cup whole milk, ½ cup water, and ¼ cup bread flour. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until a paste forms. Let it cool.
2. In a large bowl, combine 4 ½ cups bread flour, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, and 2 tablespoons sugar.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 whole egg, 1 egg yolk, and the yeast mixture.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients in the mixer bowl. Add ¼ cup room temperature unsalted butter. Knead on low speed for 10 minutes until the dough is sticky.
5. Lightly oil a large bowl. Transfer the dough into the bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let the dough proof until doubled in size (1 to 1 ½ hours).
6. Lightly grease a large baking dish with oil. Punch down the doubled dough and divide it into 18 pieces. Shape each piece into a small ball and arrange them in the prepared baking dish.
7. Cover the baking dish with a clean kitchen towel and let the rolls double proof for 1 hour.
8. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the rolls with egg wash.
9. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
10. While still hot, brush the rolls with melted unsalted butter and sprinkle with Maldon salt.
