  • Activate Yeast: In a small bowl, mix the warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the dry yeast over the top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the wheat flour, salt, and baking powder.
  • Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, sunflower oil, and apple cider vinegar. Add the melted butter and mix well.
  • Form Dough: Add the yeast mixture and the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
  • Knead Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  • Shape Buns: Punch down the dough and divide it into equal portions. Shape each portion into a bun and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Second Rise: Cover the buns with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  • Prepare for Baking: In a small bowl, beat the egg yolk with a little milk. Brush the tops of the buns with this mixture and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  • Bake: Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Cool: Let the buns cool on a wire rack before serving.
