Notes
Tip from my kitchen: start the dough in the morning if you can – the long 3 to 4 hour rise is what makes the crumb so airy. If you're short on time, put the dough somewhere warm to speed things up. The buns are great to bake in batches and freeze, so you always have some on hand when the burger craving strikes. For a glossy crust, brush the cream and tomato paste mix on generously and sprinkle with sesame.
