Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
Mix warm milk with granulated sugar and melted butter in a small bowl until sugar dissolves.
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.
Step 4
Brush each bun with the milk-sugar mixture. Beat egg yolk with 1 tbsp water and brush over tops for shine.
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.
Step 6
Cool for 2 minutes on the pan, then dust generously with powdered sugar. Serve warm.
