Why I Love This Recipe
These buns are perfect for making sliders or small sandwiches. I sometimes make a double batch. I have used these buns for making the Pioneer Woman's hot beef sandwiches.
Ingredients You'll Need
1/2 cup warm water
2 1/4 tsp quick-rise active dry yeast (1 packet)
1 tsp honey
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup whole milk
2 eggs, divided1 tsp salt
1 1/3 cups flour
3 Tbsp sesame seeds
Directions
Stir warm water with yeast and honey. Set aside to proof.
Place butter into microwave-safe bowl and cook until completely melted.
Pour milk and one egg into the butter and stir till incorporated.
Pour into a mixing bowl. Add yeast mixture, which should be foamy by now.
Sprinkle salt and 2 cups of flour over the top and mix until flour has been incorporated.
Add in remaining flour. Knead for about 5 minutes until dough is smooth, but still slightly sticky.
Grease a bowl and the dough. Cover and let rise until double, about 1 hour.
Punch the dough down.
