Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 .25 oz package instant yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 2 eggs divided
- 1 tablespoon water
- sesame seeds optional
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the milk, water and butter. Heat just until the butter has melted - do not boil.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large bowl if making by hand), combine 1 1/2 cups of the flour, the yeast, the sugar and the salt. Mix together.
- Mix in one of the eggs.
- Add the warmed milk mixture and combine.
- Continue to add flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough comes together. It will still be tacky but shouldn’t be overly sticky.
- If using a mixer, switch to the dough hook and knead for 5-8 minutes. If making by hand, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
- Cover the dough and allow it to rise for 30-40 minutes.
- Shape the dough into 8-12 balls and flatten. The buns will rise up, but won’t rise out much, so make them about the width that you’d like the final buns to be. Place on a baking sheet that has been lined with a silpat liner or parchment paper.
- Cover the rolls and allow them to rise for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Combine the remaining egg and the tablespoon of water and whisk well together.
- Brush the egg wash over the buns. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Notes
- *We like big buns for our burgers, so I usually make 8 from this recipe, but you can make up to 12 if you make them smaller.
