Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 4.5 cup all-purpose flour Make sure to spoon it into the measuring cup for accuracy.
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar This adds a hint of sweetness to the buns.
  • 1 tbsp active dry yeast Ensure the yeast is fresh for better rise.
  • 1.5 cup warm water Water should be around 110°F for optimal yeast activation.
  • 0.5 cup milk Use at room temperature for better blending.
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter Melted and cooled slightly before using.
  • 2 large eggs Beaten before adding to the mixture.
  • 1 tbsp salt Balances the flavors in the dough.

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • In a large bowl, mix the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Then, add the melted butter, milk, beaten eggs, and salt. Mix to combine.
  • Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
  • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  • Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a lined baking sheet.
  • Cover the buns with a cloth and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bake the buns for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool before slicing and serving.

Notes

These buns are great for burgers, sandwiches, or just enjoying with a bit of butter!
