  4. Cover the dough and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  5. Spread the softened butter all over the surface of the dough and knead for another 5-10 minutes. The dough will be slightly sticky. If it’s too hard to work with, you can add 1-2 tsp extra flour.
  6. Once the dough is nice and smooth, add it to a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise until doubled in size (1-3 hours).
  7. Punch down the dough and roll it into a log. Cut it into 6 equal portions.
  8. Roll each portion into a ball and add it to a pan or a burger bun mold. Flatten the dough slightly, cover, and let it rise for another hour.
  9. Preheat the oven to 180°C or 350F. Brush the tops of the buns with the whisked egg white and sprinkle sesame seeds on top (optional).
  10. Bake the buns in the oven for 15-18 minutes, until golden brown. Let them rest in the pan for 5-10 minutes before serving.
