Rye burger buns

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 1 ½ tbsp milk, lukewarm
• 125 ml water, lukewarm
• 1 ½ tsp dry yeast
• ½ tbsp sugar
• 1 egg(s)
• Salt
• sesame

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Rest time approx. 4 hours; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 4 hours 35 minutes

approx. 4 rolls

Whisk the egg. Mix 50% (!!!) of the beaten egg with milk, water, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Combine the flour and dry yeast and stir into the water mixture. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, until it has doubled in size. Then carefully form the dough into four buns, making sure to keep the air inside – do not knead or move it too much. Place the buns on a baking sheet. Let the buns rest for another 1-2 hours, until the dough has almost doubled in size. Mix the remaining egg with 1.5 tablespoons of water. Brush the buns with this mixture and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Preheat the oven to 200°C (top/bottom heat) and place a baking dish with water on the bottom. Bake the burger buns at 200°C (top/bottom heat) in a humid atmosphere for about 15 minutes.
