1
Activate Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water (105°F to 115°F) and the active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
3
Combine Ingredients
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the foamy yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs. Mix until combined.
4
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5
First Rise
Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.

6
Shape the Buns
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a lined baking sheet.
7
Second Rise
Cover the shaped buns with a damp cloth and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes until puffy.
8
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
9
Bake the Buns
Once the buns have risen, bake them in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
10
Cool and Serve
Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or store in an airtight container.
