put the flour in a mixing bowl, put salt on one side, sugar on the other, and yeast on yet another

add the water and the butter chunks

mix a few more times until a soft dough forms

dust a clean counter with flour

butter up a clean bowl, put the dough in it, cover and let it rise until it's doubled

once it's doubled tip it out on a floured surface and divide into 8 equal pieces

shape each piece into a ball, put it on the counter, cup your hand over it and move your hand in a circle to form the bun

let the dough rest 10 minutes

lightly flatten with a rolling pin

place on baking sheets lined with parchment, cover with plastic bags so the dough can rise ( I use clean garbage bags that I reuse over and over for tasks like this!)

let baps rise until almost double in size

remove from bags when ready to bake and sprinkle the tops with a little flour

bake in a 430˚ oven for 10-12 minutes
