1. ---Manual/MixerMethod---.
2. Combine all of the dough ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir to form a cohesive dough.
3. Knead the dough, by hand (on a lightly oiled work surface) or machine, for 5 to 8 minutes, until it's smooth, soft and supple; avoid adding too much flour, as this will make the buns tough and dry.
4. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and allow the dough to rise for about 1 1/2 hours, or until it's puffy, though it may not have doubled in bulk.

6. Place all of the dough ingredients into the pan of your machine, program the machine for Manual or Dough, and press Start.

8. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled work surface, and divide it into 20 pieces.
9. Allow the pieces to rest, covered, for 10 minutes.
10. Round the dough into balls, and place them in two lightly greased 9-inch round cake pans.
11. Cover the pans, and allow the buns to rise for about 1 hour, or until they're nice and puffy and have filled the pan.
12. While the buns are rising, combine the glaze ingredients, and set aside.
13. Brush the buns lightly with half of the glaze.
14. Bake them in a preheated 375u0b0F oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until they're golden brown.
15. Remove the buns from the oven, and brush them with the remaining glaze.
