Step 1

For the tangzhong, add the flour & milk into the pot and stir it around on low heat for 5 minutes until it thickens up, almost like a roux. Let it come down in temp.

Step 2

Activate your yeast; Take a medium-size bowl and add in yeast and sugar. Let that activate for 10 minutes until it’s nice and bubbly.

Step 3

Take a big mixing bowl and add the activated yeast, beaten egg, flour, water, salt, and tangzhong. Mix that up until it starts to come together.

Step 4

Take your dough out from the mixing bowl and put it on the floured surface and start kneading until it starts to come together.

Step 5

Let the dough sit, let those glutens relax a little bit.

Step 6

After the dough is relaxed, add in the softened butter. It’s going to be hard to knead with the butter in at first, but eventually, this will come together. Knead for about 5 minutes.

Step 7

After kneading it, let it rise for about an hour to an hour and a half or until it doubles its size.

Step 8

Once proofed, put your dough on a floured board and chop that into 6 -7 pieces. Round out your pieces.

Step 9

Take a sheet pan and spray that down so it doesn’t stick. Put the buns on the pan and make sure they have enough space to rise.

Step 10

Let that sit for an hour until it doubles in size. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 375°F.

Step 11

Beat up an egg with a bit of milk to brush on the dough, so it gets a nice golden crust. Sprinkle on some sesame seeds if using.

Step 12

Bake For 20-25 minutes and enjoy!
