Ingredients
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 Tbsp honey or sugar
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • 4½ cups flour
  • 1 package instant yeast (2¼ teaspoons)
  • 1½ tsp salt
  • 1 beaten egg yolk
  • Sesame and poppy seeds for sprinkling on top before baking, optional
Instructions
  1. Heat the milk, water, honey and butter until butter is melted. Check temperature and let cool to 120 F. Carefully beat in egg.
  2. Place 2 cups of the flour, yeast and salt into your mixing bowl. I used my stand mixer. Mix with the paddle until combined. Add in the milk mixture and mix till just combined.
  3. Add in the rest of the flour, ½ cup at a time. Beat well after each addition.
  4. Switch to dough hook, and on number 2 setting knead dough for 5 minutes. Dough will no longer be sticky.
  5. Divide dough into 14 equal parts using the kitchen scale. Mine were about 2.5 ounces each.
  6. Shape dough into smooth balls, flatten slightly and place onto oiled cookie sheet. Let rise until doubled, about 30-40 minutes.
  7. Preheat oven to 400.
  8. If desired, after buns have risen, brush tops with beaten egg yolk for a shiny glaze. Sprinkle with sesame seeds before baking.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, and remove when slightly brown. Place cookie sheet on cooling rack to cool.
