Round-top Bun Recipe

Bun Directions

1. 1

   Activate Yeast

   In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

2. 2

   Mix Dry Ingredients

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt until well combined.

3. 3

   Combine Ingredients

   Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add the frothy yeast mixture, melted butter, eggs, and milk into the well. Mix until a dough forms.

4. 4

   Knead the Dough

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

5. 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 about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

6. 6

   Shape the Buns

   Once risen, punch down the dough to release the air. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round bun.

7. 7

   Second Rise

   Place the shaped buns on a greased baking sheet, cover with a damp cloth, and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes until puffed up.

8. 8

   Preheat Oven

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while the buns undergo their second rise.

9. 9

   Bake the Buns

   Once the buns have risen, bake them in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

10. 10

    Cool and Serve

    Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
