Instructions
- *** In this recipe you can use either a dough conditioner or a tangzhong. Both assist in creating a lighter dough that helps retain moisture for a fluffier roll.
Yeast Mixture
- Combine water, sugar and yeast in a bowl. Stir and set aside to bloom.
Tangzhong Mixture OR use Dough Conditioner
- In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the milk, water, and flour. Once it starts to thicken, remove from heat and continue to whisk until a thick paste forms. Pour the mixture into a small bowl and set it aside to cool slightly.
Dough
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment add flour, egg, milk, sugar, salt, yeast mixture and the tangzhong mixture OR dough conditioner. Mix on low speed for about 5 minutes and dough comes together. If the dough is too wet, add flour (1 tablespoon at a time). If it is too dry, add a little milk.
- With the mixer still on low, add a tablespoon of butter at a time until fully incorporated.
- Form the dough into a ball and place in a greased bowl (I use same mixing bowl). Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm location for 1 hour to rise (or until doubled). Spray a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- Punch the dough down, turn out onto clean, floured surface and shape into a loose round shape. Use a knife or pastry cutter and divide the dough into 8 equal-sized pieces (about 3 ounces each), like a pizza.
- Working one at a time, roll the ball under your palm in a circular motion on the floured surface. Use the cupped sides of your hands to keep the dough centered in your palm and form a smooth dough ball. Add the rolls to the prepared pan, with a little space apart.
- Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm location for 30 minutes to rise and double in size. Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a small bowl, add remaining egg and water and whisk vigorously until combined. Use a pastry brush to brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash. Sprinkle tops with optional Furikake seasoning.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. (The internal temperature of the baked rolls should be 190°F). Brush the tops with the sesame oil if desired (optional).
Notes
- *** In this recipe you can use either a dough conditioner or a tangzhong. Both assist in creating a lighter dough that helps retain moisture for a fluffier roll. I also use a tangzhong in my BBQ Pork Buns.
