  • On a lightly floured surface, turn the dough and shape into 6 balls (each 120g approx)

  • Preheat the oven to 190C, remove the buns from fridge. Brush with the egg yolk mix and add your toppings if any
  • Bake them for 20-25 mins, until they're golden brown and if you have a thermometer it should read 88C from the middle of the bun
  • You can store them in a tupperware or freeze them
