1 1/2 teaspoons (10g) kosher salt

INSTRUCTIONS
MAKE THE TANGZHONG:
Combine all of the tangzhong ingredients in a saucepan, whisking
until no lumps remain.
Place the saucepan over medium heat, whisking or stirring constantly,
until thickened, about 3 minutes.
Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
MAKE THE DOUGH:
In a small bowl, combine the lukewarm milk , yeast and sugar. Cover
with a towel and let it stand for 5 to 10 minutes or until foamy.
Reserve.
Whisk the flour and salt in the bowl of your stand mixer.
Start the mixer on low, fitted with the paddle attachment. While
running, add the yeast mixture. Let it run for a few seconds before
adding the tangzhong, followed by the egg and egg yolk. Mix until a
shaggy dough forms.
Remove the paddle attachment and change to the hook attachment.
Start kneading and add the butter, one tablespoon at a time. Do not
add the next tablespoon until the first one is fully incorporated.
Once all the butter is incorporated, let the stand mixer knead the
dough for 8 to 10 minutes or until smooth and elastic.
Form a ball with the dough and place it in a greased bowl. Cover with
a kitchen towel and place it in a warm spot for 1 to 2 hours, or until
doubled in size.
Gently punch the dough to deflate it. Using a bench knife, portion the
dough into 8 equal pieces, about 95g each. Form the dough portions
into small balls and place them on a parchment paper-lined baking
sheet, making sure they have space to double in size. Cover with the
towel and let it rise again, for up to 1 hour or until puffy.
