1: Make the tangzhong. Whisk all tangzhong ingredients in a small pot until no lumps remain. Stir continuously over medium heat until resembling mashed potatoes. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 mins, covering with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. 2: In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the tangzhong along with all other dough ingredients except for butter. Using the dough hook attachment, mix until the dough comes together. Add the butter a few pieces at a time and knead until a window pane is achieved (around 15 mins on medium speed). 3: Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a bowl, cover, and let rise for 30mins-1hr at room temp until slightly grown in size. Then place the dough into the fridge overnight for a long slow rise. 4: The next morning, divide the dough into 6 equal sections and shape into balls. Gently flatten to about 4-4.5” in diameter using your hands or a rolling pin. 5: Cover and let rise for ~1-2hrs or until the dough has doubled in size and fills up the ring molds. 6: Preheat the oven to 350F, brush the tops with egg wash, sprinkle with sesame seeds (optional), and bake for 22-26mins or until deeply golden brown.
