Method
 

For Slider Buns
  1.  In a small bowl, add the lukewarm water, 2 tsp of sugar and the yeast. Mix and let it stand for 10 mins. The yeast will activate the liquid will become foamy.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg and 3 tbsp of melted butter.
  3. Pour the above mixture in the foamed yeast.
  4. In a big mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer, add the bread flour and salt.
  5. Pour the liquid and keep stirring with a big spoon if you are not using the stand mixer. I did not use it. If you are using the stand mixer use the dough hook and start on slow and then medium speed. Goon for 6-8 mins.
  6.  I mixed the dough and then dropped it on a floured space on the counter. Top and kneaded with my hands for 10 mins. I pushed with the heel of my palm and then stretched again in between that. The dough should be smooth and stretchy.
  7. Once kneaded, store in a big greased bowl and keep in a warm place. I also covered the bowl with plastic wrap. Give it 11/2hours to proof.
  8.  It will rise twice in volume. Then punch the dough and deflate and knead again for 3-4 mins.
  9. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  10. Make small balls out of the dough. Make sure they are more or less uniform. I got 15 slider buns from my dough.
  11. Place the dough balls on the cookie sheet 2 inches apart and return to a warm place.Cover lightly with a clean cloth kitchen towel and then rise for 30 mins again.
  12. In the meantime, pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F.
  13. Takeout the cookie sheet after 30 mins. The dough will increase in size. Now take the remaining melted butter and lightly grease the dough balls with a brush.
  14. Top with sesame and poppy seeds.
  15. Put the cookie sheet in the oven for 20 mins or until they become a gorgeous golden brown.
Chicken Sausage Silders
  1. Take the sausage meet out of the casings.
  2. Take two tbsp of meat and make a ball out of it.  I could get about 10.
  3. Warm an iron skillet and grease it with a tbsp of vegetable oil ( add more later if needed).
  4. Put the balls on it and lightly flatten with a spatula. Cook for 2 mins on each side to get a nice brown and then lower the heat and cover the skillet and cook for another 4 mins.
  5. Take them out and serve with the slider buns and the traditional fixings. I served the sliders with avocado, grilled yellow onions (cut them in discs and browned in the same skillet as the sliders for a couple of mins on each side), tomatoes and sriracha mayo ( mix the mayo and sriracha sauce together.
