Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 batch Basic Bread Recipe Dough https://freshmilledmama.com/basic-bread-recipe-with-fresh-milled-flour/
  • 1 Egg for egg wash
  • Olive Oil for spraying work surface
  • Your choice of toppings for the buns I used Everything Seasoning

Method
 

  1. Once your basic bread dough has finished its first rise, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Punch your dough down.
  2. Oil your work surface and your hands. Then divide into equal portions or weigh out each ball on a food scale. I weigh mine out to around 90 grams for each bun.
  3. Work with 1 piece of dough at a time and form each piece into a ball, tucking the ends underneath.
  4. Place dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat about ½" apart. Cover lightly with seran wrap and place another baking sheet or something similar over them and place a heavy object such as a book on the top baking sheet so your buns rise sideways and up. Allow to rise about 1 hour or until doubled.
  5. Once your buns are done rising, remove the top baking sheet and book. Brush on your egg wash (this acts as glue for your toppings and browns your buns) and add desired topping.
  6. Bake your buns in the oven for 17-20 minutes. Remove, let cool, slice and serve!

Notes

Even if you're leaving yours plain you can still egg wash for a nice browned top, but feel free to leave that out if needed.
