Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup warm water
- ½ cup warm milk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- Additional melted butter for brushing
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, warm milk, and sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the mixture and let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until foamy.
- Add the melted butter and egg to the mixture and whisk until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or using a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment.
- Once the dough comes together, knead it on a lightly floured surface for about 5-8 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles. Divide the dough into equal-sized portions and shape them into balls.
- Place the shaped buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between them to allow for rising.
- Cover the buns with the kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until puffed up.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Brush the risen buns with melted butter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.
- Serve the tasty buns warm with butter or use them to make sandwiches.
- Enjoy!
