Once done, punch out the gas and divide the dough into 18 equal pieces. Form each piece into a ball, then put them in a butter-greased baking dish. After this, cover them and proof for one hour. Brush the buns with eggwash, then place in the preheated 375 degrees F oven and bake for 2o minutes or until the top is lightly golden.
