Equipment
- large mixing bowl
- Kitchen thermometer
- Stand mixer with a dough hook (or a sturdy spoon and hands for kneading)
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Pastry brush
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast 1 packet
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup warm milk (heated to 125°F to compensate for cooling)
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
Instructions
- Combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- Whisk the warm milk and room-temperature eggs together slowly to avoid shocking the eggs. Check the temperature of the mixture after combining—it should be around 110°F. If it has cooled too much, microwave in 10-second intervals, stirring in between, until it reaches 110°F.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
- Add the softened butter, a tablespoon at a time, mixing until fully incorporated and the dough is smooth.
- Knead the dough by hand or with a dough hook for about 5 minutes until it’s soft and elastic.
- Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Cover the buns and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Brush the buns with a beaten egg for a shiny finish.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown. Cool slightly before serving.
