# Ingredients:

→ Dough Ingredients

01 - 3 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons sugar
03 - 2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
04 - 1 teaspoon salt
05 - ¾ cup warm milk, heated to 125°F
06 - 2 large eggs, room temperature
07 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

# Steps:

01 - Combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
02 - Whisk warm milk and room-temperature eggs together. Ensure the mixture temperature is around 110°F after combining. If necessary, microwave in 10-second intervals, stirring between, until the mixture reaches 110°F.
03 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
04 - Add softened butter, a tablespoon at a time, mixing until fully incorporated and the dough becomes smooth.
05 - Knead the dough by hand or use a stand mixer with a dough hook for about 5 minutes until it’s soft and elastic.
06 - Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
07 - Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
08 - Cover the buns and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes.
09 - Preheat the oven to 375°F. Brush the buns with a beaten egg for a glossy finish.
10 - Bake the buns for 15-18 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.

# Notes and Tips:

01 - Ensure the milk temperature is carefully regulated to avoid shocking the yeast.
