Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup warm water (110°F)
- 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Add melted butter and the large egg to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
- Gradually add all-purpose flour and salt to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Cover the shaped buns with a damp cloth and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until puffy.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Beat the remaining egg and brush it over the tops of the buns. Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
- Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
