  • 1.25 cups warm water
  • 2.5-3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons granulated white sugar
  • 3 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1.25 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, or as needed (topping)
  • 1 large egg mixed with 2 tablespoons of water for egg wash
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter to brush on top

  1. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
  2. In the steel bowl of your stand mixer , mix together 3 cups flour, salt, sugar and instant yeast. Set aside.
  3. In a pan warm together water and butter till the butter melts. let it cool down to room temperature.
  4. Add the cooled water-butter mixture now to the 1/2 of the flour mixture and mix. Add the whisked egg and mix.
  5.  Now, knead the dough on low speed until soft and sticky, 5 to 6 minutes. Scrape sides if needed. Poke and prod the dough with a silicone spatula; if large amounts of dough stick to the spatula, add a little more flour.
  6.  drizzle olive oil into the bowl, and turn dough over in the bowl several times to coat surface thinly with oil. Cover bowl with aluminum foil. Let dough rise in a warm place until doubled, about 2 hours.
  7. After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air.
  8. Divide it into 10 equal portions. You can use a kitchen scale to make sure all dough balls are equal. Roll each dough portion into a ball and place on baking sheet , around 3 inches apart.
  9. Once you have made all the dough balls, cover with a kitchen towel and let them rise for an hour or till almost doubled in size. Meanwhile preheat oven to 400 F degrees.
  10. Beat 1 egg with milk in a small bowl, using a fork, until mixture is thoroughly combined.
  11. Once the dough balls have risen, very gently and lightly brush tops of buns with egg wash without deflating the risen dough. Sprinkle each bun with sesame seeds.
  12. Bake at 400 F degrees for 12 minutes, rotating once in the middle. The tops of the buns will appear golden brown when done.

Add 1/2-1 teaspoon sugar in warm water, sprinkle active dry yeast and let it proof for 10 minutes. You will know the yeast is active when the mixture bubbles up.
