Directions

1. In a standing mixer bowl add yeast and 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water. Add oil and sugar; let stand for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, mixture should be foamy.
   
2. Whisk in 1 egg. Slowly mix in the salt and flour. Continue to add flour until you have a soft dough.
   
3. Using a dough hook, knead in the mixer for 5 minutes on medium speed, until dough is smooth and elastic. Put the dough on a lightly floured surface and divide into 8 equal pieces; shape each into a ball. Do not proof.
   
4. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place the dough balls on a parchment lined baking sheet. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rest for 10 minutes. In a small bowl beat 1 egg.
   
5. After the buns have rested, brush with the beaten egg. You may also sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Bake until golden brown, 8-12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
