Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
- 1 cup whole milk, warmed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large eggs

- 3. Add eggs and the yeast mixture to the flour; mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- 4. Knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- 5. Gradually incorporate softened butter until fully absorbed; dough should look shiny.

- 8. Place shaped buns on a lined baking sheet; cover and let rise again (30-45 minutes).

- Top with sesame seeds before baking for extra crunch.
