Equipment

  • Bread Machine

Ingredients
  

Dough

  • 7/8 cup water lukewarm
  • 2 Tbsp butter softened/room temp
  • 1 egg
  • 418 g all-purpose flour (approx 3½ cups)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1¼ tsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp active dry yeast

Topping

  • 4 Tbsp melted butter separated

Instructions
 

  • Add all dough ingredients to your bread machine, and run on the dough cycle.
  • Once the dough is prepared, place onto a lightly floured work surface. Divide the dough into eight evenly sized pieces, and roll into buns. Pull the dough to stretch it slightly over the top, pinching together underneath.
  • Place dough onto a silicon or parchment paper lined baking sheet, cover with a flour sack towel, and allow to rise for 30-45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Melt 2 Tbsp of butter and brush over the tops of the buns. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until done.
  • Melt additional 2 Tbsp of butter and brush over freshly baked buns. Allow to cool before serving.
