- Once risen, gently remove dough from bowl. Gently roll into a log shape, then cut into 6 or 8 pieces. Form each piece into a tight ball, rolling and tucking it into itself on the bottom side.
- Evenly place buns on a baking sheet, cover with a damp cloth, and allow to double in size again.
- Remove towel and brush completely with egg wash. Bake at 375°F for 20-23 minutes, until tops are firm and golden. Allow to cool on a cooling rack.
