Tips and comments:
If you are an onion lover add in about 1 cup chopped green onions to the dough when kneading. You can rise the dough in the oven, just set oven to 200 degrees and warm for 3 minutes, then turn off the heat while you are making the dough, this will create a perfect temperature to raise dough in, and usually takes only 1 hour to rise with oven method.



1 Cup water, Warm
1 Tsp sugar
1 Tbls. dry yeast
3/4 Cup milk, Warm
4 Tbls. sugar
1/4 Cup shortening, Melted
1 1/2 Tsp salt
4 Cups Bread Flour, Reserving ½ Cup
1 egg white
1 Tsp. water
1 Tbls. sesame seeds

Proof the yeast in 1 cup warm water with 1 teaspoon sugar; let sit for 10 minutes until foamy. Using a mixer, and a large bowl add in 3-1/2 cups flour, 4 tablespoons sugar, melted Crisco, warm milk and salt. Add in the proofed yeast; mix to create a soft semi-sticky dough, adding in reserved flour as needed (do not add in too much as it will create a heavy bun, dough should be semi-sticky. Knead dough for about 10 minutes. Remove dough, and let rest on the counter, cover with a clean dish towel for 10 minutes (this is an important step!). Knead the dough gently for 30 seconds with hands. Place dough in a large well-greased,oiled bowl. Cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1½ hours, or until double in size. Punch down dough. Shape into large balls, and place on a large greased cookie sheet (you should get 12 balls on the sheet). Cover with a light clean towel, and let rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes, or until almost doubled .

Preheat the oven at 375°F. In a small bowl, mix together 1 egg white with 1 tsp water; whisk, and mix well. Carefully brush the tops and sides of the buns with the egg mixture. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
