Ingredients
Scale
- 3½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2¼ teaspoons RapidRise yeast (granulated)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon table salt (or ¾ teaspoon if using salted butter)
- 1 cup warm water (100–110°F)
- 2 large eggs (room temperature, divided)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
- Sesame seeds (for topping)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
- Gradually add the warm water and one egg; stir until a shaggy dough forms. Mix in the softened butter and knead for 8–10 minutes with a mixer or 10–12 minutes by hand until smooth.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp towel and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 to 1½ hours).
- Once risen, punch down the dough gently and divide it into eight equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a parchment-lined baking pan.
- Cover loosely with a clean towel and let them rise again until puffy (about 45 to 60 minutes).
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Whisk together the second egg with one tablespoon of water and brush over the tops of the buns before sprinkling sesame seeds.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes until golden brown and glossy. Cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
