Ingredients for 6 pieces

500g all purpose flour

7g dried yeast

50g softened butter

125ml lukewarm water

125ml lukewarm milk

1 egg

1,5 tsp. salt

1 tsp. sugar

1 egg yolk

a dash of milk

sesame seeds

Method

Mix flour, yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add in egg, milk, water and butter and work into a smooth, elastic dough - kneat for about 10 minutes. Cover and let rest in a warm place for about 30 minutes.

Transfer dough to a flour dusted surface and punch down until smooth. Divide the dough into 6 pieces and form each of them into rounds. Take one of the dough balls, press it gently to the surface, moving your hands in circles. Reduce the pressuer on top of the dough slightly - this allows the dough to become a perfectly round ball. Repeat with the rest.

Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the dough balls on the paper. Let rest for 5 minutes, then cover and let rest for another 20 minutes at room temperature.

Heat oven to 180°C. Beat up egg yolk & milk and then brush the buns with egg wash. Sprinkle some sesame seeds on top of the buns and bake in preheated oven for about 20 minutes, until golden brown.
