In a measuring cup, combine 1 cup warm water, warm milk, yeast and sugar. Let that stand and get all foamy for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, beat 1 egg.

In a large bowl, mix the flours and salt together. Add the butter to the flour and rub lightly until it is a course meal consistency. Make a well in the center of the flour and butter mixture and add in the yeast mixture and the beaten egg. Once the dough has come together, pull it out of the bowl and knead it for 8-10 minutes until a smooth dough forms.

Return the dough into the large bowl and cover it to rise for 1-2 hours in a warm, dark place.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Once the dough has risen, punch it dough and cut into 8 equal parts. Gently knead and roll each piece of dough into a ball and arrange 2-3 inches apart on the baking sheet. Cover it again loosely,(I always cover with kitchen towels to rise). Let the dough balls rise for another 1-2 hours.

You want to create a little steam in your oven, so preheat it to 400 degrees and add a small pot or oven safe dish with water into the oven on the bottom. Beat the remaining egg and add a splash of water.

Brush the tops of the buns with the egg wash and bake them for about 15 minutes. I rotate the sheet pan 1 time about half way through. Transfer to a rack and cool completely. Enjoy!
