Add the egg and melted butter to the yeast mixture.
Mix in the flour and salt.
Knead for 8–10 minutes (soft, smooth, slightly tacky dough).
3. First rise
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise 1 hour, or until doubled.
4. Shape the buns
Punch down the dough.
Divide into 12 equal balls (about 85–90 g each).
Place on a baking sheet and flatten slightly.
5. Second rise
Cover and let rise again for 30–40 minutes.
6. Bake
Brush with milk or egg wash for color.
Bake at 180°C / 350°F for 15–18 minutes, until golden.
Tips for Extra Soft Buns
✨ Add 1 tbsp milk powder for bakery-level softness. ✨ Brush hot buns with butter for a shiny, tender crust. ✨ You can use this dough for dinner rolls, burger buns, or sandwich buns.
If you want, I can also give you a whole-wheat version, milk bread style, or super fluffy brioche buns!
