01
Add yeast and warm water to a large bowl.
Add oil and sugar; let stand for 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, mixture should be foamy.
02
Whisk in egg.
Slowly mix in the salt and flour.
Continue to add flour until you have a soft dough.
03
Using a dough hook, knead in a mixer for 3-5 minutes, until dough is smooth and elastic. (If you don't want to use a mixer, you can knead by hand on a lightly floured surface.) Do not let rise.
Divide into 8 equal pieces; shape each into a ball.
Do not let the dough rise.
04
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Place the dough balls on a greased or lined baking sheet.
Cover with a kitchen towel and let rest for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, brush the buns with an egg was, then sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake until golden brown, 8-12 minutes.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover buns in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months. To reheat, wrap in foil and warm in a 350°F oven for 5-10 minutes.

Why This Recipe Works

The warm water activates the yeast, allowing the dough to rise and create a light and airy texture. Kneading develops the gluten, providing structure and chewiness to the buns.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Using water that is too hot or too cold, which can kill the yeast or prevent it from activating properly.
Adding too much flour, which can result in dry and dense buns.
Over-baking the buns, which can make them hard and crusty.
