Ingredients

• 250 g Wheat flour
• 12.5 g White sugar
• 100 g Water
• 37.5 g Semi-skimmed milk
• 1.3 piece Egg
• 15 g Minimum butter sweet
• 12 g Fresh baker's yeast
• 1 tsp Sesame seed

Instructions

1. Activate the yeast

   Mix the tempered milk, tempered water, and sugar with the baker's yeast in a large bowl. Let it rest for 10 minutes until the mixture slightly foams.

2. Incorporate the flour

   Add the flour to the mixture, then the salt, and finally half of the eggs specified in the recipe (for 4 people, beat one egg and pour half into the mixture).

3. Knead the dough

   Knead for 5 minutes until you obtain a homogeneous dough. Add the softened butter and continue kneading until the butter is completely incorporated.

4. Let the dough rise

   Cover your bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rise for 1h30 in a warm place.

5. Shape the buns

   Deflate the dough by pressing your fingers into it and divide it into 4 equal portions. Shape into regular balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

6. Bake the buns

   Preheat your oven to 200°C. Beat the remaining egg with a little water and brush it over the tops of the buns. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for 15 minutes until golden.

Chef's tips

• For best results, use strong flour which will help the dough rise well.
• Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easy incorporation.
• If possible, let the dough rise in an off oven with the light on to create a warm, stable environment.
