Step 1: Gather Ingredients

Before you start, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients:

• 500 grams of flour (approximately 3 ½ cups)
• 1 egg
• 12 grams of salt (1 tablespoon)
• 20 grams of sugar (2 tablespoons)
• 15 grams of dry yeast (1 tablespoon) or 45 grams of fresh yeast
• 125 cc of milk (approximately ¾ cup)
• 125 cc of water (approximately ¾ cup)
• Oil for brushing
• Egg wash for glazing

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

1. Mix Dry Ingredients

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and dry yeast. If using fresh yeast, dissolve it in the warm milk or water first.

2. Add Wet Ingredients

   • Add the egg, milk, and water to the dry mixture. Mix until a dough starts to form.

3. Knead the Dough

   • Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.

4. Let the Dough Rise

   • Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

Step 3: Shape the Buns

1. Divide the Dough

   • Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release air. Divide it into 8 equal pieces.

2. Shape Each Piece

   • Roll each piece into a ball and then shape it into a bun by rolling it out slightly and folding it over.

3. Prepare for Baking

   • Place the shaped buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure there is enough space between each bun.

Step 4: Final Rise and Brush

1. Let the Buns Rise Again

   • Cover the buns with a cloth and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

2. Brush with Oil and Egg Wash

   • Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). After the second rise, brush the tops of the buns with oil and then with egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 5: Bake the Buns

• Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown.
