Procedure
1) Tip the flour into a large bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in half of the milk (75ml). Add the sugar, dried yeast and gently mix everything together. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and wait for the yeast to activate (circa 15 minutes).
2) After 15 minutes, add the remaining ingredients; the eggs, melted butter, rest of the milk and salt. You can continue kneading the dough in the bowl or in a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Knead until smooth, approximately 10 – 15 minutes. Please note, the dough will be rather sticky, but that’s the texture you’re looking for. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place for an hour.
3) Tip the dough out onto a clean floured surface, divide it into four equal parts, and roll each part into a ball. Place the dough balls onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space between them; cover and let rise again for about 30 – 40 minutes.
4) Whilst waiting, preheat the oven to 200C / 180C fan.
5) Brush each dough ball with egg wash and sprinkle with some sesame seeds.
6) Bake in the preheated oven at 200C / 180C fan for 20 minutes. Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool down before serving. Enjoy!
