Ingredients

• multicolumn 3 l textbf Dough
• 420 gram flour
• 170 gram water increase up to 230 g if needed
• 30 gram butter
• 1 egg
• 5 gram sugar
• 1.5 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp yeast
• multicolumn 3 l textbf Glaze
• 3 tbsp butter melted
• sesame seeds optional
• 1 egg white optional

Instructions

1. Mix and knead all of the dough ingredients — by hand, mixer, or bread machine — to make a soft, smooth dough.
2. Cover the dough and let it rise until it’s nearly doubled in bulk, about 1 to 2 hours.
3. Gently deflate the dough and divide it into eight pieces and shape each piece into a ball.
4. Flatten each dough ball with the palm of your hand.
5. Cover and let rise until noticeably puffy, about an hour.
6. Brush the buns with about half of the melted butter.
7. Optional: To make seeded buns, mix egg white with 2}} of water and brush right over the melted butter; it’ll make the seeds adhere. Sprinkle buns with the seeds of your choice.
8. Bake the buns for 15 to 18 minutes, until golden.
9. Remove them from the oven and brush with the remaining melted butter.

For added richness and color, add the yolk left over from separating the egg when adding sesame seeds to the dough.
