Notes
- Whichever buns you make, with eggs or without eggs, it needs kneading. You have to knead for 15 to 20 minutes in low speed (speed 1) in a stand mixer till smooth. If you are kneading by hand, knead it for 30 minutes till elastic.
- Egg washing make the bun soft and helps soften the top layer of the bun.
- Depending on the wheat flour you use, you might need to add more milk.
- Instead of sugar you can use honey.
