Ingredients
- 3½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2¼ teaspoons RapidRise yeast
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon table salt
- 1 cup warm water (100–110°F)
- 2 large eggs (divided)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
- Sesame seeds (for topping)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
- Pour in warm water and add one egg; mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Add softened butter; knead the dough until smooth and stretchy (8–10 minutes with a mixer or 10–12 minutes by hand).
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp towel and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size (1 to 1½ hours).
- Punch down the dough, divide it into 8 pieces, shape them into balls, and place on a parchment-lined baking pan.
- Loosely cover the buns and let them rise again until puffy (45 to 60 minutes).
- Whisk the second egg with water; brush over the tops of the buns and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Bake at 375°F for 18–22 minutes until golden brown; cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
