Ingredients:
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast 1 cup warm milk 1/3 cup sugar 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted 1 teaspoon salt 1 egg 3 1/2 cups allpurpose flour Filling of your choice (e.g. chocolate chips, cinnamon sugar, jam)
Instructions:
- Proof the yeast: In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk and let it sit for 510 minutes, until frothy.
- Mix the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, melted butter, salt, and egg. Add the yeast mixture and stir until well combined. Gradually add the flour, stirring until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 510 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Rise the dough: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 12 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Shape the buns: Punch down the dough and divide it into equalsized pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and flatten it slightly. Fill each bun with your desired filling, then pinch the edges to seal.
- Second rise: Place the filled buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover with a towel, and let them rise for another 3060 minutes.
- Bake the buns: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the buns for 1520 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Enjoy: Let the buns cool slightly before serving. These baky buns are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but can also be stored in an airtight container for a few days.
