Ingredients

  • ¼ cup warm water 105 - 115 degrees
  • 1 cup warm milk 105 - 115 degrees
  • 1 Tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 3 ½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tablespoon active dry yeast

Egg Wash

  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1 Tablespoon cold water
  • poppy seeds or sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  • Place water, milk, oil, salt, and sugar in the pan of a bread machine.
  • Add the flour, make a well in the center, and add the yeast.
  • Place in the bread machine and use the dough setting. When the machine beeps, unplug and allow to continue to rise for 30 additional minutes.
  • Remove dough to a well floured work surface and divide into 9 pieces.
  • Shape dough into a ball, then roll into cylinders, 4 1/2" in length. Flatten slightly in the center.
  • Cover with a towel and allow to rise until almost doubled, about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Just before baking, brush the tops of the buns with the egg wash and sprinkle with seeds if using.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and place on wire rack to cool.
