  2. If you are using active yeast then in 1/4 cup warm water stir in yeast and sugar and let it sit for 5 minutes , till it becomes foamy.
  3. With a hand blender beat sugar and butter together. When the butter-sugar mixture becomes a pale yellow and light , add egg and blend.

  5. Add milk & remaining water and blend. Gradually add 2.5cup of water and mix flour until it combines well with the mixture.

  7. Sprinkle a little flour on the clean kitchen counter and transfer the dough. Knead the dough for 8 to 10 minutes till the dough is smooth. If the dough is very sticky add a little more flour. Dough should be soft and smooth.
  8. Transfer the dough to greased large bowl and cover it with cling film. Put the dough in a slightly warm place, you can cover it in a blanket also, for two hours or more till the dough doubles. A perfect dough would be smooth and shiny
  9. Once the dough has doubled punch it down and lightly knead it for 30 seconds. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and make round balls and place them on a baking sheet. If you want smaller buns , you may make divide the dough in more portions, however baking time in such a case may vary
  10. Cover the baking sheet with a wet towel or cling film and keep it in a warm place to rise for forty five minutes to an hour, or until double the size.
  11. In the last 10 minutes pre heat the oven at 180 degrees.
