Equipment
- mixing bowl
- kitchen towel
- baking sheet
- parchment paper
- pastry brush
Ingredients
- cup warm milk
- active dry yeast
- granulated sugar
- unsalted butter
- large eggs
- all purpose flour
- additional flour for dusting
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until the mixture becomes frothy. This indicates that the yeast is active.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the frothy yeast mixture, melted butter, salt, and beaten egg. Gradually add the all-purpose flour, stirring continuously, until a sticky dough forms
- Transfer the dough onto a floured surface. Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes, adding more flour as needed, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
- After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Transfer it back to the floured surface and divide it into equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball.
- Place the shaped buns on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between each bun. Cover them with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes, allowing them to slightly puff up.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while the buns are undergoing their final rise.
- If you prefer a glossy finish, prepare an egg wash by beating an egg with a tablespoon of water. Brush the tops of the buns gently with the egg wash.
- Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Transfer the baked buns to a wire rack and let them cool completely before slicing and enjoying your freshly baked Golden Yeast Buns.
