Equipment

  • Bread Machine
  • Baking Sheet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Cup Warm Water
  • 1 Tbsp Yeast
  • 2 Tbsp Sugar
  • 2 Tbsp Butter (melted)
  • 1 Egg (beaten)
  • 3 cup Bread Flour
  • 3/4 tsp Salt

Instructions
 

  • Pour the water, yeast, and sugar into the bread machine
  • Beat egg into melted butter then add into bread machine
  • Add bread flour and salt into bread machine
  • Set bread machine to the "dough" setting and press start
  • When the cycle is finished, pour out dough onto a floured surface
  • Divide dough into 8 equal pieces
  • Roll buns into balls by stretching the dough from top to bottom to create a smooth top with seams on the bottom. Transfer to a greased baking sheet keeping each bun about 2 inches apart.
  • Cover the buns and allow them to rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  • When buns have risen, brush tops with an egg wash.
  • Bake buns at 350℉ for 20-24 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes

It's important to separate the salt from the yeast in your bread machine to keep it from killing the yeast and lessening the rise of your final product.  I recommend adding salt last.
