Ingredients

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
• 1 large egg

Directions

1. In the bowl of a dough hook mixer, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix on low speed for 1 minute.
2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, warm milk, and egg.
3. With the mixer on low speed, gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until the dough comes together.
4. Increase the speed to medium-low and knead the dough for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
5. Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
6. Punch down the dough to release the air. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a smooth ball.
7. Place the shaped dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each bun.
8. Cover the buns with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
9. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
10. Bake the buns for 12-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown on top.
11. Remove the buns from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and using for sandwiches.
