Ingredients
- 500 gram Water Lukewarm
- 2 pcs. Egg
- 0.5 package Yeast
- 12.5 gram Sugar
- 18 gram Salt
- 75 gram Butter Room temperature
- 1 kg Wheat Flour
- 1 pcs. Egg For brushing
- Sesame Seeds For brushing
Instructions
- Feel free to use a mixer for this dough, it makes it much easier.
- Pour the water into the bowl and dissolve the salt, sugar, and yeast in it.
- Add 250 grams of the wheat flour while stirring vigorously. Keep stirring until there are no lumps left.
- Add the two eggs - one at a time.
- Add another 250 grams of wheat flour and mix it all well.
- Cut the butter into smaller slices and add a few slices at a time - again while stirring.
- The butter should be well incorporated into the dough, there shouldn't be any clumps of butter in it.
- Now continue to add more flour to the dough while kneading.
- There's enough flour when the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the mixing bowl.
- This can easily take 5-10 minutes and you may not need to use all the flour.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour. Cover the bowl with a shower cap or a tea towel.
- After 1 hour, sprinkle flour on the kitchen counter and divide the dough into 10 pieces.
- Shape buns from the pieces and place them on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
- Press them a little flat and let them rise again for one more hour.
- Beat the egg with a fork in a small bowl and brush your buns on the top.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds on and put them in the oven at 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit) with a fan.
- They should bake for 10-12 minutes.
- If you're unsure if they're baked through, take a bun out and tap on the bottom of it. If it sounds hollow, it's baked through.
- Let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
The buns are very freezer-friendly, so always make a good batch and put the ones you don't eat in the freezer.
They just need to be packed in freezer bags once they have cooled, and then you always have burger buns for a busy day.
