2
Combine all of the dough ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir to form a cohesive dough.
-
3
Knead the dough, by hand (on a lightly oiled work surface) or machine, for 5 to 8 minutes, until it's smooth, soft and supple; avoid adding too much flour, as this will make the buns tough and dry.
-
4
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and allow the dough to rise for about 1 1/2 hours, or until it's puffy, though it may not have doubled in bulk.

-
6
Place all of the dough ingredients into the pan of your machine, program the machine for Manual or Dough, and press Start.

When the machine has completed its cycle, set a timer for 30 minutes, and allow the dough to continue to rise; it may crest the top of the bucket, but shouldn't overflow.

8
Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled work surface, and divide it into 20 pieces.
-
9
Allow the pieces to rest, covered, for 10 minutes.
-
10
Round the dough into balls, and place them in two lightly greased 9-inch round cake pans.
-
11
Cover the pans, and allow the buns to rise for about 1 hour, or until they're nice and puffy and have filled the pan.
-
12
While the buns are rising, combine the glaze ingredients, and set aside.
-
13
Brush the buns lightly with half of the glaze.
-
14
Bake them in a preheated 375u00b0F oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until they're golden brown.
-
15
Remove the buns from the oven, and brush them with the remaining glaze.
-
