butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil reduces saturated fat while maintaining moisture.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk is lower in calories and can be used for a dairy-free option.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey adds natural sweetness, while brown sugar is often less expensive.

eggs

🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal

💰Cheaper: egg substitute

Flaxseed meal can replace eggs in baking for a vegan option.

Whisk together the water, milk, yeast, and sugar, then set aside.

Beat the egg in a separate bowl.

Add the flour, salt, and butter to the bowl of a stand mixer using the paddle attachment.

Mix together the ingredients, then add in the yeast mixture and the beaten egg.

Run the mixer on medium low speed until the dough forms, about 5 to 8 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl if necessary.

Shape the dough into a ball and place it into a greased bowl, covering with plastic wrap.

Allow to rise for 1 to 3 hours or until it has doubled in size.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Turn out the risen dough onto a floured workspace and divide it into eight equal pieces.

Gently flatten out each piece like a pancake, gather the ends, and pinch the dough to seal in the center.

Flip the dough over and roll it into a ball, then transfer to the parchment-lined baking sheet placing them a few inches apart.

Cover with a tea towel and let rise for 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

After the buns have risen for the second time, gently brush each bun with egg wash.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Transfer to a cooling rack.
