Let the milk cool after heating it.

Mix the ingredients together and cover the dough to let it rest for 2 hours.

Roll the dough into buns, each weighing 3/4 lb, and press them flat.

Stack two buns together, pressing down to shape them.

Let the shaped buns rise until doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 325°F.

Bake the buns for 45 minutes.

Place the buns back in the oven at a low temperature (around 195°F) to dry overnight.
