Bread dough

• 500 grams of bread flour
• 100 grams of sugar
• 5 grams of salt
• 11 grams (1 packet) of instant dry yeast
• 30 grams of butter (soften)
• 1 egg
• 220 grams of plain water
  
  Directions:
• I use my breadmaker to knead the dough. 
• Input all ingredients except butter. plain water, egg, bread flour, sugar on one side and salt on the opposite side. Make a hole in the center of the flour to place in the yeast. 
• Knead using dough setting. Knead till window pane stage. 
• Proof till double in size about 30mins on a hot day. 
• After first proofing, take the portion of dough you want to use and keep the others in the freezer. Place the dough onto a bowl into the freezer in a bowl without wrapping. After an hour, wrap the dough in a cling wrap and place in an air tight container. 
• Divide remaining dough in 6 pcs and shape it. Cover it and proof for another 15 to 20mins. In the meantime, preheat oven to 160 degree Celsius. Sprinkle some sesame seed on top of bun. Brush bun with egg wash. 
• Bake for 15mins. If top gets brown faster cover with foil. My oven is slightly hot thus, i usually lower down my oven temp by 5 to 10 degree from the original temp.
