Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Stir gently until well mixed.
Warm the Milk: Slightly warm the milk in a saucepan or microwave until it's warm to the touch, but not hot.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the warm milk and the egg to your dry mixture, stirring until a rough dough forms.
Knead the Dough: Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Let it Rise: Place your dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm environment for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Shape the Buns: Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into equal pieces (about 8-10). Shape each piece into a bun.
Final Rise: Place the shaped buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover them, and allow them to rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake: Bake the buns for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Cool Down: Allow the buns to cool before slicing and using!
