How to Make Monay

✅Ingredients

1/4 cup water (105-115 F)
2 1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup warm milk
1 egg
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup powdered milk
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups all-purpose flour

Egg wash
1 egg
1 tablespoon milk

✅Instructions

In a large bowl, add the warm water. Sprinkle the yeast and about one teaspoon of the sugar. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes thick and foamy. Add the egg, butter, warm milk, dry milk powder, the remaining sugar, and salt. Using a wooden spoon, stir until the mixture is well blended. Add the flour and stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.

Turn the dough over onto a flat working surface and knead for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Lightly dust your hands with flour as needed to prevent the dough from sticking.

Lightly oil a large bowl. Shape the dough into a ball, gently turn it over, and then gently swipe the inside of the bowl to coat the top with oil. Then flip and place in the bowl, oiled side up. Cover the dough with a clean towel and let it rise for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Gently deflate the dough by punching down. Turn it over on the working surface and gather it into a ball. Cut the dough in half and then cut each half into 6 portions.

Using the palm of your hands, roll each dough into a smooth ball. Arrange the balls in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space in between.

Using a sharp knife or scissors, make a deep cut halfway through each ball, but not all the way through. Loosely cover with a clean towel and let rest for about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F.

In a small bowl, make the egg wash by combining 1 egg and 1 tablespoon milk. Whisk until well-blended. Brush the tops of the buns with the egg wash and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until lightly golden on top.
