Servings

Ingredients

  • 800g bread flour
  • 100g active sourdough starter
  • 340g apple juice (room temperature)
  • 70g honey
  • 85g oil
  • 2 eggs (room temperature)
  • 10g salt

Instructions

  • In a mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine all ingredients and mix for 4-6 minutes on medium-high speed.
  • Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for 5-6 hours at room temperature or for 8-12 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Lightly flour your work surface and place the dough on the floured surface.
  • Divide the dough into 10 pieces (for consistent size, weigh each to approximately 140g each).
  • Shape each piece into a ball and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Flatten each ball with the palm of your hand.
  • Cover the shaped buns with a towel and place for a final rise at room temperature for 2-3 hours.
  • 30 minutes before baking, preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Before baking, brush the buns with egg wash and sprinkle some sesame seeds on top.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes.

Notes

  • If your dough was in the refrigerator, remove it 2-3 hours before shaping to bring it to room temperature.
  • Store the buns in a plastic bag for 1-2 days at room temperature or freeze for up to 6 months.
