Make the homemade buns by hydrating 2.5 teaspoons of yeast into 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 cup of milk. Mix together 3.5 cups of flour, 1.5 teaspoons of salt, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Add 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil, then the yeasty milky mixture, followed by an egg and an egg yolk. Mix until smooth and supple, shape into a ball, and let it rise for one hour. Divide into 8 pieces, shape into balls, and let proof for 30 minutes. Brush with beaten egg and bake at 375°F for 15-18 minutes. Brush with melted butter and let cool on a wire rack.
