Instructions

In a stand mixer bowl, combine flour, dry milk powder, sugar, salt, and yeast. Mix well.
Add eggs, egg yolk, and water to the mixture. Mix on low speed until a shaggy dough forms.
Slowly add in softened butter one tablespoon at a time, mixing well in between each addition.
Increase mixer speed to medium-high and knead for 15-20 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and shiny.
Shape dough into a ball and transfer to a greased bowl. Cover and let rise for 1 hour at room temperature.
Refrigerate the dough for 8 to 12 hours.
Divide the chilled dough into six equal portions.
Shape each portion into a tight ball using the cup-and-roll method and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Let the dough balls proof for 1 to 3 hours until puffy. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Make an egg wash with egg, egg white, and water, then brush it over the buns and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
Bake for 16-18 minutes until golden brown and buns reach an internal temperature of 190°F (88°C). Let cool completely.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding your favorite spices to the beef mixture.
Customize your burger toppings according to your preference, such as avocado or different cheeses.
These buns can also be made in advance and frozen for later use.
