Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 3 teaspoons dry yeast; 1 teaspoon sugar; 1 ½ cups warm water, divided; ½ cup melted butter; 2 eggs, room temperature (can use only 1 egg if desired); 3 tablespoons powdered milk; 1 ¼ teaspoons salt; ⅓ cup sugar; 4 -6 cups flour (more as needed); 1 egg white (mixed with 1 teaspoon cold water); sesame seeds

Servings: persons

1
Prepare a 13 x 9-inch baking dish (preferably metal).
2
In a cup proof yeast with 1 tsp sugar in 1/2 cup warm water for 10 minutes, or until foamy.
3
In the stainless steel mixing bowl add in melted butter, eggs, skim milk powder, salt, 1/3 cup sugar and about 3-1/2 cups flour.
4
Add in the proofed yeast with remaining 1 cup warm water.
5
With a heavy-duty stand mixer fitted with the kneader blade (this can also be done by hand) start mixing on low speed adding more flour as needed to create a soft semi-sticky smooth dough (do not add in too much flour as buns will be tough).
6
Knead for about 8 minutes.
7
Place the dough on a slightly floured counter or board, and let rest for about 5 minutes.
8
Gather dough and shape into a ball.
9
Lightly grease the dough all over with oil.
10
Place in a greased bowl to rise.
11
Cover with a clean dish towel, and rise for about 1-1/2 hours, or until doubled (it might take longer than 1-1/2 hours).
12
Punch down dough and shape into about 16-20 evenly-sized oval balls.
13
Place the dough balls in baking pan (making 4 rows with 4 balls across, any leftover dough balls can be frozen).
14
Cover and rise again for about 45-50 minutes, or until doubled (it might take about 1 hour for the second rise, depending on the temperature of your kitchen).
15
At this point I mix/whisk 1 egg white with 1 teaspoon water, and lightly brush over tops of dough balls, then sprinkle sesame seeds over, but this is only optional.
16
Bake at 375 for 15-17 minutes or until golden brown.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
