Soft and Fluffy Buns Recipe

 

These homemade buns are incredibly soft, fluffy, and perfect for sandwiches, burgers, or as a side dish. With a slightly sweet and buttery flavor, they are sure to be a family favorite!


Ingredients:

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup warm milk (110°F / 43°C)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg

Instructions:

1. Activate the Yeast:

In a small bowl, mix warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.

2. Prepare the Dough:

In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the melted butter, egg, and the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms.

3. Knead the Dough:

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If needed, add a little more flour to prevent sticking.

4. First Rise:

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.

5. Shape the Buns:

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release air. Divide it into 12 equal portions and roll each into a smooth ball. Arrange them on a greased baking sheet, leaving space between each bun.

6. Second Rise:

Cover the buns with a cloth and let them rise again for 30-45 minutes until they are puffy.

7. Bake:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the buns for 15-20 minutes or until they turn golden brown.

8. Cool and Serve:

Let the buns cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

 

Enjoy your homemade soft and fluffy buns!
