Mix butter into flour & salt before adding yeast mixture & egg
Instructions
(1.) In a glass measuring cup, combine 1 cup
warm water, 3 tbsp. milk, yeast and sugar. Let
stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile,
beat 1 egg.
(2.) In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the
flours, salt and butter. Using the paddle
attachment, mix the ingredients until the
butter is the size of crumbs.
(3.) Stir in yeast mixture and beaten egg.
Run the mixer on medium-low (I used No.3 on my
Kitchen Aid) until a dough forms, about 5-8
minutes.
(4.)Shape the dough into a ball and return
it to the bowl (it will be sticky and wet).
Cover bowl with a clean, damp kitchen towel and
let the dough rise in a warm place until it has
doubled is size, 1- 3 hours. See Note.
(5.) Line a baking sheet with parchment
paper. Using a dough scraper (or chef's knife),
divide the dough into 8 equal parts. If you
have a scale, weigh each piece to guarantee
that they're all the same size.
(6.) To shape the dough into balls, gently
flatten each piece like a pancake. Pull up each
side pinching it together in the center. Repeat
until the ball is sealed. Flip the ball over
(seam side down) and move to an un-floured part
of your board (it's easier to roll this way).
Place your palm over the top and gently roll
into a smooth ball. Transfer to a parchment
lined baking sheet, placing them 2 to 3 inches
apart. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let
buns rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or
until puffy and slightly risen.
(7.) To make the egg wash, beat the
remaining egg with a splash of water. When the
buns are finished with the 2nd rise, gently
brush each one with egg wash. At this point,
you could add sesame seeds to the top of your
rolls if desired.
(8.) Preheat your oven to 400 F. and place a
shallow baking pan on the oven floor. Before
the dough goes in, add about 1/2 cup of water
to the pan (to create steam). This will help
keep the bread nice and moist. Bake for about
15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer
to a wire rack to cool completely.
NOTES- Giving your dough enough time to rise is
crucial in bread baking. Rise times will vary,
so be patient. Remember to watch your dough and
not the clock!
