Ingredients:

  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp dry yeast
  • 4 tbsp sugar (for a less sweeter bun reduce to 3 tablespoons)
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose white flour (u.s. residents use bread flour, you may need more four start with 3-1/2 cups and add in more while m)
  • 1 tsp water
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds

Directions:

  1. Proof the yeast in 1 cup warm water with 1 teaspoon sugar; let sit for 10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a heavy duty stand mixer, fitted with a kneader hook, add in the 3-1/2 cups flour, 4 tablespoons sugar, melted Crisco, warm milk and salt (and the malt powder if using).
  3. Add in the proofed yeast; mix to create a soft semi-sticky dough that holds around the blade, adding in more flour as needed (do not add in too much as it will create a heavy bun, dough should be semi-sticky.
  4. Knead dough for 7-8 minutes.
  5. Remove dough, and let rest on the counter, covered with a clean dish towel for 10 minutes (this is an important step!).
  6. Knead the dough gently for 30 seconds with hands.
  7. Place dough in a large well-greased/oiled bowl.
  8. Cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 60-90 minutes, or until double in size (I like to rise my dough in the oven, just set oven to 200 degrees and warm for 3 minutes, then turn off the heat while you are making the dough, this will create a perfect temperature to raise dough in, and usually takes only 1 hour to rise with oven method).
  9. Punch down dough.
  10. Shape into large balls, and place on a large greased cookie sheet (you should get 12 balls on the sheet).
  11. Cover with a light clean tea towel, and let rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes, or until almost doubled (warm oven rise should take 30 minutes.
  12. Set oven to 375 degrees.
  13. In a small bowl, mix together 1 egg white with 1 tsp water; whisk/mix well.
  14. Carefully brush the tops and sides of the buns with the egg/water mixture.
  15. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  16. Bake for approx.22 minutes, or until golden brown.
