Ingredients
- 1 cup lukewarm water
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 3 tablespoon sugar
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 egg 2 oz (or 60g) with shell
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
Instructions
- Add lukewarm water, active dry yeast, and sugar to a measuring cup and stir well. Let it sit for 10 minutes, or until foamy. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, and egg, then pour in the yeast mixture. Mix well with a spatula. Using a stand mixer with a dough hook, knead the dough on high speed for 5 minutes, or until smooth.
- Add the softened butter and continue kneading for 5 minutes at medium-high speed until the butter is fully incorporated and the dough becomes smooth and elastic. (If kneading by hand, it should take less than 10 minutes to achieve a smooth dough.)
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size. (You can place the dough in the microwave with a cup of hot water to create a warm environment for rising.) Transfer the dough to a clean surface and gently press it to release the air. Divide the dough into 18 equal pieces and shape each piece into a smooth ball.
- Line a 10x15-inch (25 x 38 cm) baking pan with parchment paper. Place each bun in the pan, spaced 1 inch apart. Let the dough rise in the pan for 30 to 45 minutes in a warm area, or until puffy and doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 356°F (180°C). Brush the buns with melted butter and bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer the buns to a cooling rack and brush more melted butter on top while still warm. Allow the buns to cool for 5 minutes before enjoying.

Notes
- Recipe source: Tasty
- Always check the expiration date of the yeast you're using. The buns won't be high and fluffy if the yeast is expired.
- Activate the dry yeast by mixing it with sugar and lukewarm water, stir well, and sit for 10 minutes until foamy. If it doesn't froth up, get a new pack of active dry yeast for the recipe.
- To make the buns the exact same size, divide and weight them before shaping.
- Generously brush the buns with melted butter before and after baking. It helps to create a perfect crispy golden brown exterior in the oven.
