   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
      1/4           cup  warm water -- (60g)
   1         Tablespoon  granulated sugar -- (12g)
   2 1/4      teaspoons  active dry yeast -- 1 packet (7g)
      3/4          cups  warm milk -- (180mL)
   1         Tablespoon  unsalted butter -- melted (14g)
   1              large  egg -- lightly beaten
   1           teaspoon  salt
   3               cups  all-purpose flour -- to 3 1/2C (360-420g) See Note
   1                     egg -- beaten with 1 teaspoon water for wash

Note: or bread flour (381-445g). Be sure to measure properly

Pour the warm water into a large bowl, or into the bowl of a stand 
mixer fitted with the dough hook. Pour the sugar and yeast into the 
water and whisk with a fork to combine. Allow to rest 5 to 10 minutes 
to activate.

When the yeast is active, whisk in the milk, butter, egg, and salt 
and mix to combine.

Gradually add the flour, about 1/2 cup at a time, to the mixture 
until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl. The 
dough should feel stable like PlayDoh but may be a tiny bit sticky. This is ok.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, then knead the 
dough until you have a smooth, elastic dough. You might want to use a 
bench scraper to help you knead the dough, since it will be a little 
loose and maybe slightly sticky.

Knead until you have a smooth, elastic dough. Because this dough is 
so slack, you may find that a bowl scraper or bench knife can be 
helpful in scooping up the dough and folding it over on itself.

Put the dough into an oiled bowl, turning and flipping to coat. Cover 
with a kitchen towel and allow to rise in a warm environment until 
about double in size, approximately 1 hour.

Punch the dough down, then turn out onto your work surface. Divide 
the dough into 10 equal pieces (I like to weigh my dough on a kitchen 
scale, divide by how many portions I need, then tear off chunks and 
push them together). Shape each piece into a ball and allow to rest 
for 10 to 15 minutes to relax the gluten. Meanwhile, line a large 
baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Flatten each ball into a rectangle approximately 5" in length and 
3-4" in width (I like to use my graduated bench scraper again for 
this). Starting with the longer side, roll each rectangle up into a 
cylinder, then tuck the ends under and pinch to seal. For hamburger 
buns, flatten the balls into discs about 3.5-4" in diameter. Place 
shaped buns on prepared baking sheet. You can keep them separate or 
allow them to touch, creating "pull apart" style buns.

Cover baking sheet with a kitchen towel and allow buns to rise a 
second time, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 400F (204C). When oven is ready, lightly brush 
the tops of the buns with the egg wash. If you want to add seeds or 
seasoning, add them now, then bake the buns for 20 to 25 minutes.

When the buns are finished, remove them from the baking sheet to cool 
on a wire rack to prevent them from getting soggy. Slice and use as 
soon as they're cool, or store them at room temperature up to 4 days. 
Buns freeze well, up to 3 months. Thaw in refrigerator or at room temperature.
