Buns / Dz Recipe

Activate Yeast

In a small bowl, combine warm milk (around 110°F or 43°C), sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.

Combine Ingredients

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the activated yeast mixture, melted butter, and the egg. Mix until a dough begins to form.

Knead the Dough

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

First Rise

Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

Shape the Buns

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.

Second Rise

Place the shaped buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between them. Cover and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes.

Preheat Oven

While the buns are rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Prepare Egg Wash

In a small bowl, mix the beaten egg with a tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush this mixture over the tops of the buns.

Add Toppings

Sprinkle sesame seeds generously on top of the egg-washed buns.

Bake

Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Cool

Remove the buns from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Serve

Enjoy the buns warm, or store them in an airtight container for later use.
