When the dough starts to form, turn it out onto a well floured surface and kneed for about 5 minutes.

Now shape the dough into a ball and put back into your bowl, cover and leave in a warm place for about an hour until doubled in size.

When the dough has risen, cut it into 6 even chunks and shape these into small buns.

Pre-heat your oven to 200C/400F then gently beat the other egg.

Optionally sprinkle with sesame seeds

Put the tray of buns in the oven for about 15 - 20 minutes, or until golden brown
