Equipment

Ingredients

  • 150 grams all-purpose flour (about 1 cup)
  • 100 grams bread flour (1/2 cup, heaping)
  • 12 grams sugar (1 tablespoon)
  • 30 grams butter (2 tablespoons when melted), melted
  • 160 ml milk (1/2 cup + 4 tablespoons), warm
  • 1 teaspoon yeast, heaping
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Combine half a cup and two tablespoons of warm milk with yeast, then set aside until it's foamy.
  • Mix bread four, all-purpose flour, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a stand-mixer bowl.
  • Add the honey, melted butter, and yeast mixture, then mix and knead until you get a smooth dough.
  • Form the milk bread dough into a ball and place it in an oiled bowl.
  • Cover with a clean kitchen cloth and set aside until it doubles in size --- generally takes about ninety minutes.
  • Divide the dough into six parts and form each portion of milk bread dough into a small ball.
  • Place them on a tray lined with parchment paper; keep some space between each milk bun.
  • Cover with the kitchen cloth again and set aside until it expands in size --- generally takes forty-five minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 220°C (400°F).
  • Combine the beaten egg with the remaining milk (two tablespoons) and brush each bun with it.
  • Place your tray of milk bread buns in the middle of the oven.
  • Adjust the temperature to 200°C (375°F) and bake the buns for twenty to twenty-five minutes --- or until they turn golden.
  • Remove from the oven and transfer these freshly baked milk bread buns to a cooling rack.
  • Serve and enjoy with your favorite jam or cheese!

Notes

  • Cook's Tip:  You can use your hands to knead the dough if you don't have a stand mixer.  It's an easy dough to manage manually because it is not sticky.
  • Refer to the post for more tips and suggestions.
