Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 teaspoons instant dry yeast
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1/4 cup salted butter melted
  • 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large mixing bowl, or in the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the yeast, sugar, salt, milk, and water.
  2. Add in the melted butter and 3 1/2 cups of the flour. Begin mixing on a low speed until all of the flour is stirred in. Slowly add in the remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time until the dough is tacky, but doesn't stick to your hands. The dough should be nice and smooth.
  3. Transfer to a lightly greased large mixing bowl and let rise until double in size, about 1 hour.
  4. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll into balls. Press each ball between your hands to flatten. The dough will spring back a bit giving you about a 1/2-inch disc. Place the disc onto a lightly greased baking sheet.
  5. Whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon water to form an egg wash. Brush the tops of the discs. This will give them a nice shiny brown finish. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top, if desired, to make sesame seed buns.
  6. Bake in a 400 degree oven for about 12 minutes, until lightly browned.
