Ingredients
- 250 ml whole milk
- 15 g granulated sugar
- 8 g active dry yeast
- 500 g all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- pinch of sea salt
- 60 ml avocado oil
For the topping:
- 1 tablespoon whole milk
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (black or white) optional
Instructions
- In a bowl, add the warmed milk, granulated sugar and yeast. Give it a stir and let the yeast activate.
- To a stand mixer bowl fitted with a dough hook attachment, add the flour, egg, salt, and oil. Add the activated yeast mixture and knead until the dough becomes smooth and shiny, about 5-8 minutes.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl and cover with a tea towel.
- Let the dough rise in a warm location until doubled in size, about 1-1.5 hours, depending on how warm it is.
- Once risen, deflate the dough and divide into 10 equal balls.
- Shape into a round ball with your hand and place each dough ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet, allowing a few inches in between.
- Press the dough down firmly to flatten and cover with a tea towel.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F/177°C.
- Once the dough balls have risen and are slightly puffy, lightly brush the tops with milk.
- Add toppings such as sesame seeds (if you wish).
- Bake at 350°F/177°C for 15-17 minutes, until lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.
- Let the buns cool before slicing in half.

Notes
- You can divide the dough into 12 pieces for regular sized hamburger buns.
