Total Time: 4 1/2 hours

Step 5

1. Mix together the warm water, milk, yeast and sugar. Set aside for 5 minutes until you see a foam on the top. If you don’t have a foam, DO NOT PROCEED. This is a crucial part of having fluffy buns. If starting yeast intimidates you, look for my pinned reel that gives more tips!

Step 6

2. Add in the flour, salt, butter and beaten egg. Mix until the dough forms. You want the dough to be soft but not sticking to your fingers. If you need to add more flour, sprinkle in a few extra tablespoons at a time.

Step 7

3. Cover the bowl with a towel and let it sit somewhere warm for around 1-3 hours or until doubled in size.

Step 8

4. Once the dough has doubled in size, flip it out into a floured surface. Divide into 8 equal pieces.

Step 9

5. Shape the dough into balls, gently flattening and tucking the ends underneath.

Step 10

6. Place the dough balls onto a baking sheet that is lined with parchment paper.

Step 11

7. Cover and let them rest an additional 1 hour or until they’re fluffy in appearance.

Step 12

8. Make the egg wash by beating the egg and water together. Gently brush the top of the buns with the egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Step 13

9. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. In the bottom of your oven place a baking sheet or dish. Right before you put your buns in, pour 1/2 a cup of water in the pan to create steam. This will make your buns fluffy and moist.

Step 14

10. Bake the buns for 15-20 minutes or until they’re golden brown on top.

Step 15

11. Take them out and let them cool slightly before serving!
