Ingredients
- 2¾ cups strong bread flour
- 2 eggs, large
- 1 packet dried yeast
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp sea salt, fine
- ½ stick unsalted butter, softened, cut in cubes
- ½ cup milk, slightly warm
- 1 egg, for wash
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, sugar, and salt
- Slowly add in flour and softened butter cubes. Using a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment (or by hand if you prefer), start to mix the ingredients together until a dough begins to form.
- While the dough is still sticky, start adding the softened butter piece by piece. Make sure each piece is incorporated before adding the next. This process should take about 5-10 minutes.
- Continue to knead the dough until it becomes soft, elastic, and shiny. This should take another 10-15 minutes in a stand mixer, or a little longer by hand.
- Once the dough is well kneaded, cover the bowl with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size. This should take about 1-2 hours.
- After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 12 equal pieces for larger sliders, or 16-20 pieces for smaller sliders.
- Roll each piece of dough into a smooth ball and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Leave enough space between each ball for them to expand.
- Cover the tray with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and leave them to proof for another 1-2 hours, or until they've doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Beat the remaining egg and brush the top of each bun with the egg wash. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown.
- Let the buns cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Notes
Feel free to top buns with sesame seeds or poppy seeds for added texture.
