8 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 tablespoons butter, soft
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons yeast
  • 1 teaspoon dried onion flakes (optional)
  • For Topping
  • 1 egg white, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • sesame seeds, for sprinkling

Directions

  1. 1
    Warm the milk and butter together just until the butter starts to melt.
  2. 2
    Place all of the ingredients into a mixing bowl. (I use my bread maker dough cycle here). Stir to combine, then knead the dough until it's smooth and elastic, about 10-15 minute. Add a bit of additional flour or water if needed.
  3. 3
    Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning to coat all sides. Cover it with lightly greased plastic wrap, and let the dough rise until it's doubled in bulk.
  4. 4
    Turn the dough out onto a lighly floured work surface and divide it into six pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball and place it in the lightly greased pan.
  5. 5
    Cover the pan let the buns rest for 10 min, then press each to flatten the top. Cover and let it rise until puffy, about 1 hour.
  6. 6
    Mix beaten egg white with 1 T water.
  7. 7
    Just before baking, brush with the egg white water mixture and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake the buns in a preheated 375 F degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until they are golden brown.
  8. 8
    Remove from oven and let cool on a rack before slicing in half horizontally.
