Ingredients:
You will Need:
500g flour (2 cups)
1 pinch of salt
20g butter (1.3 tbsp)
25g sugar (5 teaspoons)
12g fresh/dry yeast (2 1/2 teaspoons)
1 egg yolk
280ml milk (a little over 1 cup)
50g flour for dusting (3 tbsp)
1 egg beaten with 2tbsp water
1 Tbsp sesame seeds
Step 1:
Add to the bowl the flour, the pinch of salt, sugar, yeast, egg yolk, butter and finally pour in the milk into the mixing bowl.
Step 2:
Now on a slow speed mix the ingredients for about 5 minutes. It's likely that the dough will become caught on the hook, so after 5 minutes stop and ease it off with your hands. Then, mix again on a medium speed for a further 3 minutes.
Step 3:Dust some flour over a flat surface.
Put the dough in the center and knead it with the palm of your hand. This will give it more texture and strength.
Knead for about 1 minute until the dough gets a velvety texture. Leave the dough to rise Place the dough in a bowl, cover it with a tea towel and leave it in a warm place to rise. This should take about an hour.
Step 4:
After an hour, it should look like this, double size of the previous dough.
Step 5:
Firstly, punch the dough down into the bowl to remove the air and peel it out.
Step 6:
Then dust a flat surface with flour and place the dough on top Now cut it length ways and across four times to make 10 buns.
Step 7:
Now take one of the buns and roll it into a long strip.
Step 8:
Then hold both ends and tie it into a knot.
Step 9:
Leave the buns to rise.
Place the buns on the baking tray lined with greaseproof paper and cover them with the tea towel. Then leave them to rise for 20 minutes.
Step 10:
After 20 minutes have passed, we need to prepare them before baking.
Using a brush, generously coat each of the buns with the egg wash. Then sprinkle over the sesame seeds followed by the salt.
