Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp Instant Yeast
- 1 Cup Warm Water
- ⅓ Cup Vegetable Oil
- 2 Tbsp Maple Syrup
- 2 Eggs
- 3 Cups All Purpose Flour or 3 ½
- 1 Tsp Salt
- Sesame Seeds (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, stir 2 Tbsp instant yeast and 1 cup warm water.
- Add ⅓ cup vegetable oil, 2 Tbsp maple syrup, and 1 egg, and give it a good mix to break up that egg yolk.
- Add 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1 tsp salt to the bowl and mix until you have shaggy dough.
- Transfer to a flat surface and knead for 3-5 minutes (If your dough is sticky add another 1-2 tbsp of flour.) Then divide your dough into 8 pieces and shape each one into a ball.
- Beat your remaining egg and brush generously over the tops of each bun (Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.)
- The only time your dough will sit (for 5-10 minutes) is while you preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Then bake for 8-15 minutes until golden. Allow to cool and enjoy!

Notes
Why This Works: Using a high amount of instant yeast and warm liquid activates the yeast immediately, creating enough lift during baking without a traditional rise time.
Storage: Store cooled buns in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or warm in a 300°F oven for 5 minutes.
Maple Syrup Substitutes: Honey or granulated sugar work equally well in place of maple syrup.
