Glamping Baba: Gorgeous Dinner Buns

I was never a bun maker but since I have my Kitchen Aid this job has become a little easier.
These look amazing and just tried half with sprinkled almonds and half plain. Both were a nice bun with butter and jam.

1 pkg. Dry Yeast(traditional)
1/4 cup warm water
1 cup milk
3 Tbsp. butter
1 beaten egg
2 Tbsp. sugar
3/4 tsp. salt
3 cups flour

Egg wash...1 beaten egg

Dissolve package of yeast in 1/4 cup warm water. Put 3 Tbsp. butter into 1 cup milk and microwave for 1 minute. To the yeast mixture, add 1 beaten egg, 2 Tbsp. sugar, 3/4 tsp. salt, and gradually add 1 cup flour. Whisk ingredients. Add warm milk and butter mixture. With a paddle I mixed in 1 more cup of flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until mixed , then added the other cup slowly as well until mixed. Switched to dough hook and kneaded the dough for 7 minutes until elasticy. Put 1/2 tsp. oil into a big bowl and oil the sides well. Place dough into bowl and pat oily hands over dough. I covered mine with saran wrap. Prior to starting anything, I turned my oven on at 150 degrees for 15 minutes, then shut it off and proceeded with bun making. When the dough was placed in oiled dish and saran wrap. I placed a damp cloth over the bowl and set it inside the turned off warm oven with the door open a bit. Let sit for 11/2 hours, until doubled in size. On a light covered board, place the risen dough and let sit for 5 minutes. Gently pat in down into a square. Cut into 12 pieces and form each piece into bun tucking open ends underneath until ball is smooth. Place in a lightly greased 9" by 13" pan. Cover with saran wrap and let rise for 1 more hour. Beat an egg and brush it on over the whole bun. Add almonds or not....and bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. They look fabulous. If a sweeter bun is desired, add 1 more Tbsp. sugar to mixture.
