• After the yeast becomes active and bubbly, add to the dry ingredients along with the cool melted butter.
• Using the the dough hook on your electric mixer, knead on the second speed level.
• After about 5 minutes of kneading, check to see if the dough consistency is correct (having come together into a smooth ball) add water if too dry, or flour if too wet, a little bit at a time until the correct consistency is reached.
• Continue kneading with mixer about 5 more minutes or until the dough appears smooth and strands of dough can be seen forming in it.
• Turn the dough out into a greased mixing bowl in a warm, draft-free area and allow to rest, covered with a towel, for 10-15 minutes.

• Divide dough into 8-10 pieces and roll out and form into desired shapes, tucking the seam beneath it and place the pieces onto the baking sheet.

• Allow the buns to rise for 20-25 minutes then empty the pan with the water and add more boiling water to it and put it back in the oven.
• Allow the buns to rise for another 20-25 minutes (about 45 minutes total).
