Bun Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.

    Combine Ingredients

    Add flour, salt, melted butter, and egg to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth.

    First Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  5. 5

    Shape the Buns

    After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place on a greased baking tray.

    Cover the shaped buns with a cloth and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
