Instructions
- In a stand mixer bowl, mix flour, dry milk powder, sugar, salt, and yeast.
- Add eggs, egg yolk, and water to the mixture and stir on low speed until shaggy dough forms.
- With the mixer running, add butter gradually until fully incorporated.
- Increase speed to medium-high and knead for 15-20 minutes until dough is smooth and pulls away from the bowl.
- Transfer dough to a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for one hour at room temperature.
- Refrigerate the dough for at least eight to twelve hours.
- Divide dough into six equal portions, shaping each into a tight ball.
- Place dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover loosely, and let proof for one to three hours.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Chill buns slightly before baking.
- Whisk egg, egg white, and water for egg wash and brush over buns, adding sesame seeds if desired.
- Bake for 16-18 minutes until golden and reach an internal temperature of 190°F (88°C).
- Let buns cool completely.
Notes
For best flavor, let the dough rise overnight in the refrigerator.
Feel free to customize the toppings to your preference, adding cheese, vegetables, or sauces you enjoy.
When forming the patties, make a small indentation in the center to help them cook evenly.
