📝 Preparation Steps
1
In the bowl of an electric stand mixer whisk together flour, sugar, yeast and salt.
2
Pour in water, add 1 room temp egg and butter. Roughly stir together with a spatula then using the hook attachment knead mixture on medium-low speed until it's a fairly smooth and elastic dough, about 3 to ⏱️ 5 minutes. If needed add in up to 6 Tbsp additional flour.
(15 oz) all-purpose flour (scoop and level to measure)3 cupswarm water (110 to 120 degrees)1 cuplarge egg, (at room temperature)1large egg, (mixed with 1 Tbsp water)1
3
Transfer dough to an oiled bowl. Cover (spray wrap with oil, placing oiled side down), and let rest until doubled in volume, about 1 to 1 1/⏱️ 2 hours.
4
Punch dough down all over to remove large air pockets. Divide dough into 10 equal portions.
5
Pull and tuck corners and edges under a few times and shape into a ball, over a floured surface.
6
Transfer 10 dough balls to a parchment paper lined baking sheet, spacing evenly apart. Using your hand slightly flatten to each dough to a 2 2/3-inch circle.
7
Cover (I just cover with a second baking sheet upside down) and let rest until at least doubled or nearly tripled in volume, about 45 to ⏱️ 60 minutes.
8
Preheat oven to 375 degrees during last ⏱️ 15 minutes of dough rising. If your oven doesn't brown as well then consider moving oven rack up one level from center.
9
Very carefully brush buns evenly over the top with the egg wash (the egg that's been whisked with 1 Tbsp water). Be very gentle as to not deflate the buns.

12
Let cool on a wire rack then slice buns in half when ready to serve.
