Soft and Fluffy Buns Recipe

Instructions:

1. Activate the Yeast:

• In a small bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

1. Mix the Dough:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the melted butter, egg, and the activated yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.

1. Knead the Dough:

• Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. If it’s too sticky, add a little more flour as needed.

1. First Rise:

• Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

1. Shape the Buns:

• Once risen, punch down the dough to release the air. Divide it into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball. Place them on a greased baking sheet, leaving space between each bun.

1. Second Rise:

• Cover the shaped buns with a cloth and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes until they puff up.

1. Bake:

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the buns for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

1. Cool and Serve:

• Allow the buns to cool on a wire rack. They can be served warm or at room temperature.

Enjoy your homemade buns!
