Steps
Step 1
Heat milk in a saucepan until warm to the touch (25°C / 77℉). Transfer milk to a mixing bowl and dissolve the yeast in the milk.
Step 2
Add the remaining ingredients except for the butter and knead thoroughly. Use a kitchen mixer to knead the dough if you have one.
Step 3
Cut the butter into cubes and add to the dough. Knead for 5 to 10 minutes until the dough is elastic and smooth.

Cover the dough and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes. Transfer the dough to a counter sprinkled with flour and divide into 10-12 pieces of equal size.
45 minStep 5
Roll each piece into a round bun and arrange the buns close to each other on a lined roasting pan or oven-proof dish (approximately 20 x 30 cm). Cover the buns and let rise for approximately 1 hour until they double in size.

Heat the oven to 180°C / 356℉ on fan setting. Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush the tops of the buns with egg.
Step 7
Bake on the middle oven rack for 14 to 16 minutes until the buns develop a nice golden surface. Serve warm or toasted with butter.

Substitutions
egg (silken tofu or skip (depends on the dish)) → silken tofu or skip (depends on the dish)
Carbonara without egg is not carbonara. Fried rice can skip the egg. We will not pretend otherwise.
flour (a gluten-free blend (not plain rice flour alone for bread)) → a gluten-free blend (not plain rice flour alone for bread)
Coatings and roux can swap. Yeast breads need a blend designed for gluten-free baking.
butter → olive-oil
Use a little less oil than butter. Pastry and laminated doughs are a different problem.
