Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened

Garlic Parmesan Topping

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, finely minced
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Begin by activating the yeast in warm milk mixed with sugar. Once the mixture becomes frothy, combine it with flour, salt, egg, and softened butter. Knead well until you form a smooth, elastic dough. Cover and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
  2. Shape the Buns: Punch down the risen dough to release excess air. Divide the dough into equal portions and shape them into round buns. Place the buns evenly spaced on a lined baking tray.
  3. Prepare the Garlic Parmesan Topping: Mix melted butter with finely minced garlic and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined. This mixture will coat the buns and infuse them with rich flavor.
  4. Apply Topping and Second Rise: Brush the garlic Parmesan mixture generously over each bun. Cover the buns and let them rise again for 20 to 30 minutes for extra fluffiness.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the buns for 15 to 20 minutes or until they turn golden brown and the cheese crisps at the edges.
  6. Serve Warm: Once baked, brush the buns with a bit more garlic butter for a glossy finish. Serve warm to enjoy their soft, savory goodness at its best.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic for a brighter, more robust flavor than garlic powder.
  • Don’t skip the second rise; it ensures fluffy, tender buns.
  • Grate Parmesan fresh instead of using pre-grated for better melting and flavor.
  • Brush the garlic butter mixture generously for more flavor in the crumb and crust.
  • Watch baking time carefully to avoid drying out the buns.
