In a mixing bowl, combine the warm milk and granulated sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the milk mixture and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Add the eggs and softened butter to the yeast mixture and mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring continuously until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Punch down the risen dough to release any air bubbles.
Divide the dough into small portions, depending on how large you want your buns.
Flatten each dough portion into a circle and add your choice of filling in the center.
Carefully fold the dough over the filling and seal the edges, shaping it into a bun.
Place the filled buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and cover them. Let them rise for another 20-30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
Once the buns have risen again, bake them in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy your homemade egg buns with your favorite filling!
