Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Baking tray
- Parchment paper
- Oven
- Cooling rack
Ingredients
- 500 g wheat flour
- 10 g salt
- 50 g sugar
- 10 g dry yeast
- 2 eggs
- 200 ml warm milk
- 100 g melted butter
- 100 ml warm water
- 1 egg (for brushing)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the warm water, a pinch of sugar, and the dry yeast. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Add the eggs, warm milk, melted butter, and activated yeast mixture. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 10–15 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rest for 1–2 hours until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough gently, divide it into 10 equal portions, and shape into buns. Place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and let them rise again for 30–45 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 356°F (180°C). Brush the tops of the buns with a beaten egg and bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to a cooling rack.
Notes
For best results, use a kitchen scale for precise measurements. Let the dough rise in a warm place to speed up the process, and do not skip the second rise. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage. Reheat slices to restore softness. You can customize this bread by folding in chocolate chips, nuts, or herbs, or by substituting with gluten-free flour. Enjoy!
