For the sourdough

  • Combine all of the ingredients together in a bowl, using a wooden spoon.
  • Let the dough rest for ½ an hour, until it doubles in size.

For the dough

  • Knead all of the ingredients in a mixer. Use the hook attachment and beat until the dough becomes soft and elastic and draws back from the sides of the bowl.
  • Add the extra ingredients to the kneaded dough, very slowly. A soon as everything is completely combined, cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Set the dough aside to rest for 1 hour in a warm place.
  • Divide the dough into 100 g balls. Set aside to rest again, for 20 minutes.
  • Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Transfer half of the balls of dough to the baking pan. Use a sharp knife and cut the tops of the buns into 5 segments, starting from the edges and moving towards the center. You want to create a star shaped bun.
  • Repeat process with the second baking pan.
  • Cover both baking pans with plastic wrap and allow to rest for 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 160* C (320* F) Fan.
  • Bake until the interior temperature of the buns reaches about 100* C (212* F) and they turn golden. This should take about 12-14 minutes.
  • Remove from oven. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar.
