Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup warm whole milk
  • 2 cups plain all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 1 large egg white beaten with 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried garlic granules
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • Sesame seeds, for sprinkling on top
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Method
 

Step 1: Prepare the Dough
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, olive oil, and honey. The warmth of the milk will help incorporate the other ingredients easily. Next, whisk in the dried oregano, garlic granules, and sea salt for that tasty kick.
  2. Once these wet ingredients are combined, add the flour and baking powder. Stir everything until just combined. Don't overmix. You want a soft dough that comes together easily.
Step 2: Knead the Dough
  1. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for about a minute. You’re not looking for a workout; just enough to bring it all together. Form it into a ball, making sure it's smooth.
Step 3: Shape the Buns
  1. Divide the dough into six equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten gently into discs about 1 inch thick. Place them on a lined baking tray.
Step 4: Egg Wash
  1. In a small bowl, whisk your egg white with 1 tablespoon of water. Brush this egg wash over the surface of each bun. It gives them a golden finish and helps any toppings stick.
Step 5: Sprinkle and Bake
  1. Sprinkle sesame seeds liberally on top. They add flavor and a delightful crunch. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the buns for about 15-20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
  1. Once browned, take them out and let them cool on a wire rack. Be patient; this will help ensure they stay fluffy and soft on the inside!

Notes

  1. Temperature Matters: Make sure the milk is warm but not hot. Too hot can kill any yeast if you decide to use it in the future!
  2. Don't Overmix: The key to soft buns is to combine the ingredients just until they come together.
  3. Customize with Flavors: Think about adding extra herbs or spices into the dough for added flavor. Consider rosemary, thyme, or even chili flakes for a kick!
  4. Brush the Buns: The egg wash not only helps with browning but can also prevent them from drying out during the baking process.
  5. Store Properly: If you have leftovers, keep them in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
