Title: Fluffy Homemade Buns

Ingredients:
– 4 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
– 1 cup warm milk
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 large egg, beaten
– Sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional, for topping)

Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the mixture and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

2. Add the melted butter, beaten egg, and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually mix in the flour, about one cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.

3. Lightly flour a clean surface and knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour as needed.

4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours or until it has doubled in size.

5. Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into equal-sized portions and shape each portion into a smooth ball.

6. Place the shaped buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each bun. Cover them with a kitchen towel and let them rise again for about 30-45 minutes.

7. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If desired, brush the tops of the buns with a little beaten egg and sprinkle them with sesame seeds or poppy seeds for a decorative finish.

8. Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown on top. You can check for doneness by tapping the bottom of a bun – it should sound hollow.

9. Once baked, transfer the buns to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving. These buns are best enjoyed warm with a slather of butter or your favorite jam.

Now, grab a cup of tea or coffee, relax, and savor these fluffy homemade buns that are sure to please your taste buds and fill your home with warmth and comfort. Enjoy every bite of these irresistible treats, and don’t be surprised if they become a staple in your home baking repertoire. Happy baking!
