Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1 cup warm whole milk (110°F)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top and let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Gradually mix in flour and salt until a soft dough forms.
  3. Knead dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. While the dough rises, mix softened butter with maple syrup and sea salt flakes to create the salted maple butter.
  6. After rising, punch down the dough and divide into equal pieces. Shape into balls and place them in a greased baking dish. Allow to rise again briefly while preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on top.
  8. Brush warm buns generously with salted maple butter before serving.

Keywords: For added flavor, consider incorporating herbs like rosemary or thyme into the dough. To make ahead, prepare the dough and shape buns the night before; refrigerate overnight after their first rise.
