17.  Add in the ⅓ cup butter to the milk.
18. 
19. Microwave the milk & butter for about 30 seconds until the butter has melted. The mixture should be lukewarm as it will help activate the yeast. If the mixture is too hot, allow to cool a bit before using as this will kill the yeast & the buns won’t rise.

36. 
37. After 1 hour, notice how the dough has doubled in size.

39. Remove the dough from the bowl & place on a lightly floured surface.
40. 
41. Press down on the dough & then divide into 12 equal pieces.
42. 
43. Roll the 12 pieces individually into balls & place into a greased baking tray. I used spray & bake to grease the pan.
44. 
45. Cover the tray with a dish towel & set aside for the dough to rest for another 40 minutes.
46. 10 minutes before the resting time is up, preheat the oven to 180° Celsius.
