Ingredients

The following ingredients have 14 Servings
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 4 1/2 cups flour ((unbleached, whole wheat, or a mix))
  • 1 active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoons honey
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 egg (, room temperature)

Instruction

  • Heat the milk, water, honey and butter until butter is melted.
  • Check temperature. Depending on the temperature, let cool to 120F.
  • Carefully beat in egg.
  • Mix 2 cups of the flour, yeast, and salt.
  • Mix into the milk mixture.
  • Stir in the rest of the flour, 1/2 cup at a time. Beat well after each addition.
  • When the dough pulls together, (it will form a soft ball) turn it out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic. This should take about 5 minutes.
  • Divide dough into 12 -16 equal pieces. This will depend on the size you want for the finished bun.
  • Shape into smooth balls, flatten slightly, and place on a silpat covered baking sheet.
  • Let rise for 30 to 35 minutes.
  • When buns have almost doubled bake at 400 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes, or until done.
  • Cool, covered with a tea towel to keep them soft.
