Equipment

Ingredients
  

For the tops of the buns

  • 1 Whole Egg For Egg Wash
  • 1 Tbsp Butter

Instructions
 

  • Warm your milk, about 45 seconds in the microwave. Add milk, sugar and starter into your mixing bowl. Using a dough whisk make sure everything is incorporated.
  • Then add your flour and egg. Using your dough whisk mix into a shaggy dough.
  • Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
  • Once rested you can place on your kitchen aid mixer, put your dough hook in.
  • Sprinkle salt all over your dough.
  • Cut your softened butter into sections, approximately 1 tbsp each. (Sometimes I do even smaller)
  • Slowly add 1 Tbsp of butter at a time and start your kitchen aid mixing the dough.
  • Once all is in corporated, it will look sticky and should be soft. If it is overly sticky you can splash a handful of flour on and mix.
  • Let bulk ferment 8 hours (or overnight)
  • Once it has risen, take out of bowl and place on silicone mat.
  • Divide dough into sections and weigh them. I typically make each one about 130 grams.
  • Shape your dough into burger buns
  • Place shaped on your parchment paper lined baking sheet. Cover and let rise for 2 hours.
  • Egg wash the tops of your buns
  • When they have doubled place in a 350℉ heated oven for 30 minutes.
  • Optional- Brush the tops of your buns with butter.
