Add the ingredients into the bowl of a food processor and knead for 18 minutes on low with a dough hook. Leave the dough to rise under a cloth for 30–45 minutes until it has doubled in volume. Divide the dough into three equal pieces, roll into bars, and divide each bar into ten equal pieces. Roll the pieces into balls by hand, place onto a sheet of baking powder, and cover with cloth leaving the buns to rise. When the buns have doubled in size, brush with egg all over, and bake in a convection oven at 200 °C for approximately 8 minutes, or until the buns have a lovely brown color and are fully baked. Let cool on top of a grill. The finished buns freeze well.
