  • Knead the dough well to develop the gluten. This will help the buns rise properly and have a good texture.
  • Allow the dough to rise in a warm place. This will help the yeast to activate and the dough to rise properly.
  • You can brush the buns with melted butter or egg wash before baking for a shiny finish.
