Step 1

In the bread machine, place the following ingredients in order: milk, beaten egg, bread flour, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Make a small indentation in the middle of the ingredients and pour the yeast into the hole.

Step 3

Push bread machine to dough setting and hit start.

Step 4

Once the cycle is complete (1 hour and 50 minutes on my machine), place dough onto a floured surface and roll out to 1/2 inch to 1 inch thick (1/2 inch will create slightly thinner buns while 1 inch will create large, fluffy buns).

Step 5

Using the open mouth of a mason jar or a 3.5″ round cookie cutter, cut out 12 circles and put them on two baking sheets.

Step 6

Place the baking sheets in a warm place and allow to ride until they double in size (about one hour).

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Step 8

Using a pastry brush, brush the tops of each bun with the egg white wash and sprinkle on sesame seeds.

Step 9

Bake 10-12 minutes until baked through and slightly golden on top. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Enjoy!
