INGREDIENTS:
1 egg yolk (for coating)
2 cups water
2 eggs
1 teaspoon sugar
5 cups bread flour (plus extra for kneading)
2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) dry yeast
2 teaspoons salt
INSTRUCTIONS:
Making the Yeast Mixture
Heat 2 cups water to 110°F (43°C) – it should be warm to the touch but not boiling.
In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar and yeast. Stir until mixture turns into a powder and let sit for about 5 to 10 minutes.
Mixing the Dough
Add 2 eggs to the yeast mixture and mix well.
Mix the bread flour and salt in a separate bowl.
Slowly add the flour mixture to the yeast mixture with a wooden spoon or the dough hook attachment of a mixer. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8 to 10 minutes until soft and smooth. If using a stand mixer, beat the flour on medium speed for 5 to 7 minutes.
Add more flour if necessary to prevent sticking.
First proof
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
Shape the rolls.
Flatten the dough to remove air. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces.
Shape each piece into a ball by pulling the edges toward the center and squeezing them together. Then roll the dough with your hands on the work surface and form it into a smooth ball.
Arrange the rolls on parchment paper, leaving a space between each roll.
Second Proof
Cover the rolls with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let rise for another 30-45 minutes until slightly risen.
Preheat your oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Get Ready to Bake
Beat the egg yolks with a spoonful of water in a small bowl.
Brush the top of each bun with the egg yolk mixture to create a nice finish.
Bake the buns
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and quiet to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.
