Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tsp Active dry yeast
  • 1 cup Warm water 100-105℉
  • 1½ tbsp Sugar
  • 3¼ cup All purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp Melted butter cooled
  • 2 eggs (divided) Save one for eggwash
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 tsp Avocado oil For greasing the bowl
For Eggwash
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 tsp Milk
Garnish
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds Use as needed

Equipment

  • 1 Dough Mixer *or you can be kneaded by hand

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, add warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir and let it the yeast activate for 10 minutes or until it looks foamy.
  2. Next, in your dough mixer, or a large bowl, add flour, 1 egg, salt, and melted and cooled butter.
  3. Once your yeast mixture is activated, add it to the flour mixture and knead on the dough mixer for 6-8 minutes, or 10 minutes if kneading by hand.
  4. Dough should be slightly tacky and not stick to the sides of the bowl.
  5. Grease a large bowl with avocado oil and place the dough in the bowl, then flip to ensure both sides are covered in oil. Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel or saran wrap. Set aside to rest for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
  6. Remove the dough onto a counter and gently shape into a rectangle. You can use a rolling pin, just be careful not to press to hard.
  7. Next, cut the dough roughly into 8 equal shapes. Pinch the ends to seal each dough and roll (seam side down) to create a smooth ball.
  8. Repeat this step until all 8 pieces of dough are shaped. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 1 hour.
  9. Meanwhile, make the egg wash, whisk 1 egg and 2 tsp of milk. Set aside.
  10. Preheat oven to 375℉. Place the dough onto a large baking sheet and gently brush each dough with egg wash.
  11. Sprinkle sesame seeds on each dough and bake at 375℉ *(See Note) for 15 minutes or until the tops of the buns are golden brown.

Notes

Since each oven is a little different, oven temperatures and baking time will vary.
