SOFT BURGER BUNS

Steps:

• Put the milk, butter and 100ml water in a pan and gently heat until the butter is melted. Set aside to cool until just warm.
• Tip the flour, sugar, yeast and 1 tsp salt into a large bowl and gradually work in the milk mixture, then the egg, until you have a smooth dough. Tip the dough onto a floured surface or into a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook and knead until elastic and shiny. Divide into 12 (about 80g each) pieces and roll into tight balls. Transfer to baking trays lined with baking parchment, leaving plenty of space between them, and put in a warm place to prove for 30-45 mins.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Press the rolls down gently using your hands, then brush over some milk and scatter over the sesame seeds, if you like (or, dust with some flour). Bake for 10-12 mins until risen and lightly golden. Leave to cool completely, then serve. Make up to two days ahead and keep in an airtight container.

SOFT BURGER BUNS

Steps:

• 1. Crumble the yeast into a bowl with a room temperature mix of milk and water. If you're using dry yeast, make it slightly warmer. 2. Add the egg, salt and melted butter.
• 1. Mix and knead in the flour until the dough is smooth and glutenous. The ready dough is moist and stretchy, and can detach from the bowl with a pull. 2. Cover the bowl with a cloth and allow it to leaven in room temperature for about 1-2 hours until it's doubled in size.
• 1. Lightly dust the working surface with flour. Gently make a stick out of the dough and cut it into nine (3×3) pieces of the same size. First roll them into balls and put them onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper. 2. Cover the buns again with a cloth and let them leaven for an hour.
• 1. Heat the oven to 200°C and on put a steel dish of water on the bottom of the oven. Its steam will keep the buns moist and and guarantee a better leavening while they are being baked. 2. Glaze the buns with an egg. Sprinkle on the edible seeds if desired. 3. Bake the buns for about 15-20 minutes. The buns may be served once they have cooled a bit, or toasted from the center cutting. Add some delicious fillings. They may also be eaten as they are, with only butter.
