6. Shape each piece into a circular bun; cover buns with a clean, dry kitchen towel and let rise for 1 hour.

While that’s happening, make the topping.

7. In a mixing bowl, combine dry milk powder, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and superfine sugar.

8. Add shortening, milk, egg yolk, and vanilla, mixing everything into a dough. Adjust with milk if needed.

9. Cover the topping dough tightly with plastic wrap and set it aside at room temperature.

Instructions

When the buns are done rising for a second time, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

10. Separate the topping dough into 12 equal pieces and roll them into balls.

11. On a clean surface, roll out each ball into a flat circle and place one onto each bun.

12. Brush with egg yolk and bake at 350 degrees for 12-13 minutes.
