EGG BUNS

Steps:

• Mix everything except butter together in a mixer for 6 mins. Double the time if kneading by hand.When everything comes together add butter and knead in the machine for another 6 mins or 12mins by hand. The dough should be soft and tacky. When it's completely kneaded, take the dough out and shape it into a ball with your hands.
• Put the dough back into the mixer bowl back, cover with a plastic wrap and leave it in a warm place until it's doubled in size.
• When the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and transfer to the benchtop and divide into 6 equal pieces, make them into balls, cover with a towel and let them rest for 15 mins.
• After 15mins, take one ball at a time, make approx 6*4 inch rectangles and roll it into cylinders (approx 6 inches long). They might shrink back a little but that's okay.
• Arrange them on a baking tray, cover with a towel, allow them to rise again for about an hour until they are almost doubled in size. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400F for 30mins.
• Egg wash the buns, bake them for approx 12mins until they are golden. Take them out and let them rest for at least 30mins before you cut them open to fill with anything.
• apply some Mayo or butter to the opening of the buns. Fill with boiled eggs, onions, and peppers. Sprinkle some salt on the eggs.

HOMEMADE HAMBURGER BUNS

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
• Place yeast into bowl of a large stand mixer; whisk in 1/2 cup flour and warm water until smooth. Let stand until mixture is foamy, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Whisk 1 egg, melted butter, sugar, and salt thoroughly into yeast mixture. Add remaining flour (about 3 cups).
• Fit a dough hook onto stand mixer and knead the dough on low speed until soft and sticky, 5 to 6 minutes. Scrape sides if needed. Poke and prod the dough with a silicone spatula; if large amounts of dough stick to the spatula, add a little more flour.
• Transfer dough onto a floured work surface; dough will be sticky and elastic but not stick to your fingers. Form the dough lightly into a smooth, round shape, gently tucking loose ends underneath.
• Wipe out stand mixer bowl, drizzle olive oil into the bowl, and turn dough over in the bowl several times to coat surface thinly with oil. Cover bowl with aluminum foil. Let dough rise in a warm place until doubled, about 2 hours.
• Transfer dough to a floured work surface and pat to flatten bubbles and form into a slightly rounded rectangle of dough about 5x10 inches and about 1/2 inch thick. Dust dough lightly with flour if needed. Cut dough into 8 equal pieces. Form each piece into a round shape, gently tucking ends underneath as before.
• Use your hands to gently pat and stretch the dough rounds into flat disc shapes about 1/2 inch thick. Arrange buns about 1/2 inch apart on prepared baking sheet. Dust buns very lightly with flour. Drape a piece of plastic wrap over the baking sheet (do not seal tightly). Let buns rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Beat 1 egg with milk in a small bowl, using a fork, until mixture is thoroughly combined. Very gently and lightly brush tops of buns with egg wash without deflating the risen dough. Sprinkle each bun with sesame seeds.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned on top, 15 to 17 minutes. Buns will stick together slightly where they touch. Let cool completely, tear the buns apart, and slice in half crosswise to serve.
