Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, RapidRise yeast, granulated sugar, and table salt until no lumps remain.
  2. Pour in the warm water and add the egg. Mix until a shaggy dough starts to form.
  3. Incorporate the softened butter into the dough and knead for about 8-10 minutes using a stand mixer, or 10-12 minutes by hand until smooth.
  4. Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1½ hours.
  5. Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces, shaping each piece into a ball. Place on a parchment-lined baking pan.
  6. Cover the shaped buns with a towel and let them rise for 45-60 minutes until puffy.
  7. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Brush the tops with an egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
  9. Cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Ensure your water temperature is right to prevent dense buns. Get creative with flavors by adding herbs or spices. An egg wash before baking gives a beautiful golden color and crispy exterior.
