In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of active dry yeast, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Pour in 1 cup of warm milk and 2 tablespoons of melted butter, followed by ½ cup of water as needed. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until doubled in size.

After the first rise, punch down the dough gently, divide it into 10-12 equal pieces, and shape accordingly.

Place the shaped buns seam side down on a lined baking sheet, cover, and let rise for an additional 30-45 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the buns for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove the buns from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing or storing.
