sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2 Install dough blade in the 72-ounce
Power Pitcher. Stir together yeast,
sugar, warm water, and warm milk
and pour into pitcher. Allow to sit for
5 minutes.

and flour to the pitcher. Select DOUGH
and press START/STOP. If more mixing is
needed, run on Speed 2 until combined.
4 Transfer dough to a floured work
surface and knead a few times with
your hands, then form it into a ball.
Cut the dough ball into 8 pieces.
Shape each piece into a ball and
place evenly spaced apart on the
prepared baking sheet.
5 Loosely cover the dough balls with
a clean kitchen towel and let rise for
15 minutes.

1 egg with 1 tablespoon milk in a small
bowl. After 15 minutes, remove towel
and brush the tops of the buns with
the egg wash, then sprinkle with
sesame seeds.
