Tips:

For a crispy bun, brush the tops with melted butter before baking.

If you don't have a stand mixer, you can make the dough by hand. Just be sure to knead it for at least 10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.

Let the dough rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces.

Shape each piece of dough into a bun and place them on a greased baking sheet.

Let the buns rise for another 30 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.

Bake the buns in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Let the buns cool on a wire rack before serving.
