100 grams active sourdough starter
45 ml low-fat milk
15 grams (1 tablespoon) sugar

5 grams (3/4 teaspoon) sea salt
1 large egg, room temperature, lightly beaten
25 grams (1.5 tablespoons) butter, room temperature
Optional toppings: sesame seeds, poppy seeds, everything bagel seasoning
Directions
- Tangzhong
- Whisk flour and milk together in small saucepan, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Place over medium heat, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
- Dough
- Combine starter, milk, and sugar together, let sit for a few minutes.
- Add flour and salt to stand mixer bowl, start with mixer on low with paddle attachment. While running, add the yeast mixture.
- Let run for a few seconds before adding the tangzhong, followed by most of the egg, reserving a little to wash the tops before baking.
- Mix until a shaggy dough forms. Then remove the paddle attachment and change to the hook attachment.
- Add the butter, one little at a time. Ensure butter is fully incorporated before adding more.
- Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes or until smooth and elastic.
- Form the dough into a ball and place in a greased bowl. Cover and place in a warm spot until doubled in size.
- Gently punch the dough to deflate it. Portion into 4 equal pieces and shape into rolls or buns, placing on parchment-paper lined baking sheet with room to double.
- Cover and rest until puffy. Preheat the oven to 375 F.
- Brush buns with leftover egg, sprinkle optional toppings, then bake for 15-18 minutes until golden-brown.
