Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

  2. Step 2

    Mix warm milk with granulated sugar and melted butter in a small bowl until sugar dissolves.

  3. Step 3

    Divide pizza dough into 4 equal pieces. Shape each into a ball, then use your fingers to poke a shallow well in the center of each.

  4. Step 4

    Brush each bun with the milk-sugar mixture. Beat egg yolk with 1 tbsp water and brush over tops for shine.

  5. Step 5

    Bake on the sheet pan for 12-14 minutes until golden brown and a knife inserted into the thickest part meets no resistance.

  6. Step 6

    Cool for 2 minutes on the pan, then dust generously with powdered sugar. Serve warm.
