Instructions

1. For the dough: mix the milk, milk powder, sugar, egg and yeast. Add the flour and salt and mix until a dough forms.
2. Add the butter and knead until smooth. Shape into a ball, coat with oil, put in a bowl and cover. Leave for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
3. For the topping: beat the sugar and butter until smooth. Add the egg yolk, vanilla and salt and mix until smooth. Sift in the milk powder, cake flour, baking soda and baking powder and mix. Wrap in plastic wrap, shape into a log and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
4. Press the air out of the dough. Transfer to a floured counter and divide into 12 equal portions (a kitchen scale can help).
5. Place the portions in a 9x13 inch baking pan. Cover and leave for 30 minutes to proof.
6. Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F) convection.
7. Unwrap the topping and divide into 12 equal pieces. Press each flat between sheets of plastic wrap and roll out to cover the buns.
8. Beat the egg yolk and milk for the egg wash and brush over the buns.
9. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden.
10. Let cool.
