The surprise secret ingredient for perfectly soft and flavoursome bread is Potato. These buns are the perfect vessel for transporting hamburger to mouth.
Combine all ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer, excluding the butter. Mix on a low speed with the dough hook attachment until the mixture comes together in a ball.
Add the butter to the mixer about a tsp at a time, continuing to mix so it incorporates evenly. Once all the butter is added, continue kneading for roughly 5 minutes - until the dough ball is smooth.
Cover the bowl with cling film and a tea towel and leave to double in size ~ 1 hr
Shape the proven dough into 12 buns and let rise again for ~ 1hr
While the buns are performing their final rise, preheat the oven to 200oC. Gently brush the bun tops with egg wash and sprinkle with dried herbs or sesame seeds if desired. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden.
Allow the buns to cool on a rack for at least 15 minutes before cutting into, to allow the crumb to set. Ideally wait until they are cool if you are going to slice them, however you can enjoy warm as well.
