Add Wet Ingredients:
Stir in the melted butter, egg, and vegetable oil to the yeast mixture. Mix until well combined.
Add Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the flour and salt to the wet mixture. Stir until a dough forms. If needed, add 50-80g of additional flour to help bring the dough together. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky, but manageable.
Knead the Dough:
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
First Rise:
Grease a bowl with a little oil, then place the dough in the bowl. Cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until the dough has doubled in size.
Divide the Dough:
After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into 4 equal parts, and then each part into smaller portions. Shape them into small buns.
Chill the Dough:
Place the formed buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and place them in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to firm up before baking.
Prepare the Butter Glaze:
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, egg yolk, and milk. Mix well.
Second Rise:
After chilling, remove the buns from the freezer and let them rise for another 40 minutes, allowing them to puff up and expand.
Bake the Buns:
Preheat your oven to 360°F (180°C). Brush the buns with the butter glaze, making sure they’re fully coated. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Cool and Serve:
Once baked, remove the buns from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with butter, jam, or honey for a sweet breakfast or snack.
Pair with savory dishes such as soups, stews, or a roasted meat dish.
These buns also make a great sandwich base for lunch or dinner.
