Mix flour, yeast, and sugar in a large bowl.

Warm water and milk until lukewarm, then add to the dry ingredients.

Stir until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth.

Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Punch down the dough and divide into equal pieces.

Shape each piece into a round bun and place on a baking sheet.

Cover the buns and let them rise again for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).

Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with seeds if desired.

Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Cool on a wire rack before serving.
