Equipment
- 1 Stand Mixer (optional)
Ingredients
- 1 cup Milk (warm)
- 2 tsp Instant Yeast
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 2½ cup Plain Flour
- ½ tsp Salt
- 1 Egg
- 3 tbsp Butter (melted)
Instructions
- Mix the yeast, sugar, and warm milk and leave to rise.
- In your mixer bowl, add flour, salt, eggs and butter. Add the risen yeast to the bowl and mix until everything comes together in a rough, shaggy mass of dough.
- Cover with a cling film or a tight-fitting lid and leave to rest for five minutes.
- Continue to knead for 5 minutes. Your dough will still be soft, but don’t be tempted to add more flour.
- Return the dough to an oiled bowl and cover with cling film, leave to rise until doubled (30 mins on a hot day, 1 hour on a cold day)
- Divide the dough into eight pieces, roll each out about 6 inches long, and pinch down the sides and ends.
- Place the buns, seam-side down, on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Cover the buns and leave them to rise for 15 minutes. They should become nicely puffy.
- Place in a 350F preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, turning the dish half way through to brown evenly.
