Soft, fluffy, and slightly sweet, these Hawaiian slider buns are the perfect base for crispy chicken sliders, or any mini sandwich. They’re golden on the outside, pillowy inside, and brushed with butter for that signature shine. This recipe makes about 6 slider buns, just the right size for sharing.

Instructions

In a small bowl, mix warm milk and yeast. Let rest for 5 minutes until slightly foamy. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add softened butter, oil, egg, and the milk-yeast mixture. Knead for 8–10 minutes by hand or with a stand mixer until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll into smooth balls and place on a parchment-lined baking tray. Cover lightly and let rise again for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 175°C (top & bottom heat). Brush the buns with beaten egg. Bake for about 30 minutes, until golden brown.

Immediately brush generously with melted butter. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rest for at least 1 hour. This makes the buns extra soft and keeps the crust tender.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Temperature Control for Yeast Activation 🌡️
Keep your warm milk between 110-115°F when activating yeast; too hot kills the yeast, too cold prevents activation. Use a thermometer to ensure perfect conditions for a reliable rise.
Window Pane Test for Gluten Development 🪟
After kneading, stretch a small piece of dough thin enough to see light through it without tearing—this signals proper gluten development for maximum fluffiness in your final buns.
Egg Wash for Professional Golden Shine ✨
Brush your shaped buns with beaten egg mixed with 1 tablespoon of water 15 minutes before baking to achieve that signature restaurant-quality glossy, golden exterior.
Strategic Butter Placement for Soft Crust 🧈
Brush warm melted butter immediately after baking while buns are still hot—this prevents a hard crust from forming and keeps them pillowy soft for 24+ hours.
Bulk Fermentation Timing for Flavor Development ⏱️
Allow 1.5-2 hours for the first rise until dough doubles, which develops complex flavors and gives you lighter, more tender crumb structure than rushing the process.
