Step 1

In a small bowl combine the lukewarm milk and sugar, sprinkle the yeast on top and let sit 10 minutes, then stir.

Step 2

Add the flour to the yeast mixture, start to knead for 30-60 seconds then add the salt and butter, continue to knead for 7-8 minutes.

Step 3

Move the dough to a flat surface and form into a ball. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover and let rise in a warm draft free area for approximately 1-2 hours or until doubled in bulk.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured flat surface, divide into 5 equal parts, form into balls, place them on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet well apart, slightly flatten the top so that they aren’t too rounded. Cover with a tea towel and let rise approximately 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.

Step 5

Pre-heat oven to 375F (190C).

Brush the tops of the buns with milk, then sprinkle with seeds if desired. Bake for about 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately move to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
