Ingredients
- 600 g Bread Flour
- 8 g Active Dry Yeast
- 420 g Warm Milk
- 30 g Honey
- 1 Egg plus 1 Egg Yolk
- 12 g Salt
- 113 g Butter (room temperature)
- Egg Wash
Instructions
- Add the warm milk, honey, and yeast to a bowl. Stir to combine, and allow the yeast to bloom for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the flour, egg and egg yolk, and salt to the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attached. Once the yeast is frothy, add the milk mixture to the flour. Mix on medium/low speed until all of the flour is incorporated.
- Increase the mixer speed to medium, and add the butter to the dough. Mix for roughly 15 minutes, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and the dough passes the window pane test.
- Cover the bowl and allow the dough to rise for 2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
- Once the dough is fully proofed, dump it onto a clean shaping surface. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Shape each dough ball into a taught bun by cupping the dough into your hand while it rests on the table and making circular motions to form the dough into a tight ball. Place each shaped bun into a greased 9”x13” pan.
- Cover the shaped buns and allow them to rise for 1 hour. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Once the rolls are proofed, brush egg wash over each one. Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, until the tops are evenly golden brown.
