Optional

Equipment

  • Stand Mixer
  • Large bowl for proofing your dough
  • Sheet Pans
  • Bench scraper
  • parchment paper
  • plastic wrap
  • clean thin cloth for the final rise

Method
 

For the Tang Zhong
  1. In a small pan over low heat add the the ingredients and form a roux or paste. Set aside and allow to cool.
For the Dough
  1. Add the flour, yeast, salt, sugar and milk powder to a bowl of a stand mixer. With the dough hook in place turn the mixer on and just combine these ingredients. Add the tepid water, one egg, the Tang Zhong. With the mixer on low to medium add the butter and knead for 5-10 minutes.
  2. Turn the dough out onto a clen surface and form into a ball. Place in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic and allow to double in size.
  3. After the first rise, punch the dough down, and turn out onto a floured surface. Flatten the dough out a little and cut into six pieces. Form each piece into a ball and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Cover with a loose cloth and allow to double in size.
  4. Gently brush each roll with your egg wash and add the sesame seeds if you desire. Completely optional.
  5. Place into a preheated 375 oven and bake about 15 minutes. I used my convection so I lowered it 25 degrees.
  6. Remove from the oven and use for your favorite burger!
