Test Kitchen Tip

The dough will be tacky, but if it seems too wet or sticky, add a bit more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.

Instructions

Whisk together butter and 3 eggs in the bowl of a stand mixer on low speed until combined, then whisk in milk.

Combine water, sugar, and yeast in a small bowl; set aside until foamy, 5 minutes.

Whisk together flour, sugar, and salt until combined.

Add yeast and flour mixtures to butter mixture and knead on low speed with a dough hook until dough is smooth and elastic, about 15 minutes. Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled in size, 1½–2 hours, or refrigerate overnight.

Punch down dough to release air, then divide into 1-oz. portions using a bench knife. Shape dough into balls and place on parchmentlined baking sheets. Cover buns with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, 1½ hours (or longer if you refrigerated the dough).

Preheat oven to 350°.

Brush tops and sides of dough balls with egg wash; bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let buns cool before slicing.

The butter and egg mixture will still be lumpy and look curdled after whisking — that’s OK.

Cut the dough with a bench knife. Tearing it breaks the gluten strands in the dough, causing dense buns.
