In a small bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and 1 teaspoon of honey. Stir and let sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy. This ensures the yeast is active and ready to help the dough rise.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour and salt.

Add the egg, avocado oil, remaining honey, and frothy yeast mixture. Mix until a sticky dough forms.

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 6–8 minutes by hand, or use a stand mixer with a dough hook for about 5 minutes. The dough should be smooth and elastic.

Divide the dough into 8 pieces for burger buns or more for smaller rolls.

Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm spot for 30 minutes, or until puffy.

Brush the tops with an egg wash for a glossy, golden crust.

Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown.

Let the buns cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them fresh, or store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
