Equipment
- 1 Stand mixer
- 2 Baking trays
- 1 Dough scraper
- 1 Pastry brush
Ingredients
Dough
- 180 g Water at 71ºF/21ºC
- 100 g Eggs
- 30 g Vegetable oil
- 400 g Unbleached bread flour
- 14 g Instant yeast or 25g fresh yeast
- 20 g Sugar
- 8 g Salt
Egg Wash
- 50 g Egg, beaten with a pinch of salt
Instructions
Mixing Dough
- In a stand mixer fitted with the hook attachment, mix together water, eggs, oil, sugar, and salt. Add flour and yeast. Mix 3 min on low to combine. Increase speed to medium-high and mix for about 7 min more or until dough comes off clean from the sides of the bowl. Transfer dough in a smaller and oiled container, cover with plastic wrap or a wet towel. Leave to ferment for a couple of hours or until it has tripled in size.
Shaping & Proofing
- Transfer dough on floured countertop and divide into ten 70 grams portions. Shape into tight rounds avoiding using extra flour; it makes it harder to ball out. Cover and let rest for about 15 min. Re-tight into rounds and place each bun in a greased English muffin rings. Cover and let proof for about an hour or until double in size. Egg wash buns and sprinkle some sesame seeds if desired.
Baking
- Bake in a fan oven at 350ºF/180ºC for 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool on wire rack. Enjoy!
Storage
- Unbaked buns can be stored frozen for up to 2 weeks. Allow to thaw in the refrigerator overnight before proofing. Baked buns can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days or frozen for a couple of weeks. Reheat before eating.
