Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 cup lukewarm water
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 egg

Bun Glaze

  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp honey

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, sprinkle the yeast over the lukewarm water and let sit for five minutes. Add egg, honey and salt and stir until combined.
  • Add flour to mixture and stir with a fork until dough starts to come together.
  • On a clean surface, pour out the dough and knead until soft and elastic (about 8 minutes). If using a standing mixer, use the dough attachment to knead bread for 5-7 minutes.
  • Shape the dough into a ball and transfer back into the mixing bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and a towel and place in a warm space for 2 hours.
  • After 2 hours, the dough should double in size. Punch down the dough and form into buns (approximately 12). Place buns into a pan lined with parchment paper. Cover with a towel and let it rise for an additional 20 minutes
  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a small bowl, combine egg and 2 tablespoons of honey until combined. Brush the mixture onto the buns.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes (the tops should be golden brown). Serve warm with your favorite jam or enjoy on their own!
