Stage 2 - 1 min.

Put 600 g flour in the bowl of the mixer, add 20 g yeast.

Stage 3 - 10 min.

Stage 4 - 1 hour

Leave to rise at room temerature until the dough has doubled in volume (1 or 2 hours).

Stage 5 - 5 min.

Stage 6 - 3 min.

Cut out circles 9-10 cm (4") diameter with cutter.

Stage 7 - 1 min.

Lift off excess dough.

Stage 8 - 5 min.

Then with a metal spatula or fish-slice, transfer the buns to a baking sheet.

Stage 9

Repeat this rolling and cutting several times to use up all the dough.

Stage 10 - 1 hour

Leave to rise a good hour again covered with a plastic sheet.

Preheat oven to 200°C or 392°F.

Stage 11 - 3 min.

After this time, glaze the top of each bun, then sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Stage 12 - 15 min.

Bake for approximately 15 minutes (check the colour towards the end of cooking time).

Remarks

Once you have tasted these buns, you will no longer be able to buy the sticky commercial ones (especially if you read the ingredients on the label...).
