Calories: 262kcal
Equipment
- Stand mixer
Ingredients
Dough
- 4 cups flour
- ¾ granulated sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ cup melted butter
- 1 cup warm milk hot first then let cool to warm temp
Yeast
- 2 tsp yeast
- 1 tsp granulated sugar for yeast mixture
- 1/2 cup warm water
Glaze
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp sugar
Instructions
Preparing the Dough
- Combine 2 tsp yeast and 1 tsp sugar with 1/2 cup warm water. Let the yeast mixture sit while preparing the dough.
- Using a Kitchen Stand mixer with the dough attachment, combine flour, sugar, eggs, salt, melted butter and warm milk.
- Add yeast mixture to dough mixture and continue mixing until well blended, approximately 10 minutes.
- Remove dough from the mixing bowl and place it on a floured surface.
- Knead by hand for 3 minutes. The longer you mix, the better the dough will turn out.
- Place dough in a large greased bowl and cover with a paper towel. Leave the dough to rise to double its size; this takes approximately 1 to 1.5 hours.
- Remove the dough and divide into equally sized buns, placing them in a greased muffin tray.
- Cover and let rise for another ½ hour. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 350F.
Making the Glaze
- Beat 1 tsp sugar and 1 egg together and generously brush the mixture over top of the buns.
- Bake buns for 15-18 minutes. Check with a toothpick before removing to ensure buns cooked through.
