Ingredients

• all-purpose flour - 250 grams
• active dry yeast - 7 grams
• granulated sugar - 30 grams
• salt - 5 grams
• large eggs - 2
• whole milk - 60 ml
• unsalted butter - 60 grams, softened
• water - 30 ml
• sesame seeds - for topping (optional)

Steps

1. In a small bowl, combine warm water (30 ml) and yeast (7 grams). Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour (250 grams), sugar (30 grams), and salt (5 grams).
3. In another bowl, beat the eggs (2) and add the warm milk (60 ml) and the frothy yeast mixture.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
5. Add the softened butter (60 grams) and knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
6. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
7. Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 4 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
8. Cover the shaped buns with a cloth and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes until puffy.
9. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
10. Optional: Brush the tops of the buns with beaten egg and sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added flavor and texture.
11. Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
12. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
