Because I had super good results with this recipe, have a try with this:
For likeley unhealthy but tastier than McDonalds buns:
- 500 g (17.6 oz) flour
- 1 large pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 25 g (0.9 oz) lard
- 200 ml (7 imperial fl oz) milk
- 100 ml (3.5 imperial fl oz) lukewarm water
- 5 g (0.18 oz) yeast
- 1 egg (for brushing)
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
...
-
Prepare the dough: Combine flour, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Add lard, milk, lukewarm water, and yeast. Knead thoroughly for at least 15 minutes.
-
First rise: Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
-
Shape the buns: Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Shape into balls, flatten into rounds, and place on a baking tray.
-
Second rise: Brush the buns with beaten egg, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes.
-
Final rise: Brush again with beaten egg, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
-
Bake: Bake at 200°C (392°F) for approximately 10 minutes, until golden brown.
Edit: The Buns are relatively big. If you want buns sized like those from McDonalds divide the dough in rather 10ish portions.
