• For the dough:

Gather the edge and pinch to seal. (Be sure to seal well or the filling will leak out during baking.). Pat into shape and place on a greased baking tray. Repeat with remaining portions of dough. Place each bun about 7.5 cm apart on the baking trays. Prove for 45 minutes in a warm place. Pipe the topping on the buns in a spiral, starting from the centre.
